Term Name:	cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding
Synonyms:	bacterial-type cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, bacterial-type proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding, bacterial-type RNA polymerase core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding, bacterial-type RNA polymerase enhancer sequence-specific DNA binding, bacterial-type RNA polymerase upstream activating sequence (UAS) sequence-specific DNA binding, cis-regulatory region binding, core promoter proximal region DNA binding, core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding, enhancer binding, enhancer sequence-specific DNA binding, eubacterial-type RNA polymerase regulatory transcription factor sequence-specific DNA binding, promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding, proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding
Definition:	Binding to a specific upstream regulatory DNA sequence (transcription factor recognition sequence or binding site, located in cis relative to the transcription start site (i.e., on the same strand of DNA) of a gene transcribed by some RNA polymerase. Cis-regulatory sites are often referred to as a sequence motifs, enhancers, or silencers.
