DNA-binding protein
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
A DNA-binding protein is any protein that binds to double- or single-stranded DNA. Examples include many proteins involved in the regulation of gene expression (including transcription factors), proteins involved in the packaging of DNA within the nucleus (such as histones), nucleic acid dependent-polymerases involved in DNA replication and transcription, or any of many accessory proteins which are involved in these processes.
