TF-CAT classification	TF Gene_DNA-Binding sequence-specific_DNA Binding_ PMIDS:8406007
Vaquerizas 2009 TF classification "a" Has direct evidence of TF function; "b" Has evidence for an orthologous TF; "c" contains likely DBDs, but has no functional evidence; "x" is an unlikely TF such as predicted gene, genes with likely non-specific DBDs or that have function outside transcription; "other" category contains proteins without clear DBDs they curated from external sources.	a
CisBP considers it as a TF?	Yes
TFclass considers it as a TF?	Yes
Has GO:0003700 "transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding"	No
GO-Info	GO:0001077 RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor a IEA - GO_REF:0000019
Initial Assessment 1a1 Protein has a high confidence PWM (HT-SELEX, PBM or B1H model) or there is a crystal structure that supports sequence specific DNA binding; 1a2 There is high confidence data for a close ortholog (as defined in CisBP); 2a1 There is lower confidence direct evidence, such as a Jaspar, Hocomoco or Transfac model; 2a2 There is lower confidence evidence for an close ortholog; 3a There is decent circumstantial evidence for its role as a TF or not; 4a Two or more datasets predict it as a TF; 5a One of the source datasets predicts is as a TF	1a1, Direct HQ evidence
TF has conditional DNA-binding requirements

The paired domain contains three subdomains, which show functional differences in DNA-binding. The crystal structures of prd and Pax proteins show that the DNA-bound paired domain is bipartite, consisting of an N-terminal subdomain (PAI or NTD) and a C-terminal subdomain (RED or CTD), connected by a linker. PAI and RED each form a three-helical fold, with the most C-terminal helices comprising a helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif that binds the DNA major groove. In addition, the PAI subdomain encompasses an N-terminal beta-turn and beta-hairpin, also named 'wing', participating in DNA-binding. The linker can bind into the DNA minor groove. Different Pax proteins and their alternatively spliced isoforms use different (sub)domains for DNA-binding to mediate the specificity of sequence recognition [PUBMED:11103953, PUBMED:15148315].", "database": "PfamA", "aliStart": 1, "scoreName": "E-value", "accession": "PF00292.16", "start": 1, "score": 5.9e-12, "identifier": "'Paired box' domain", "type": "DBD", "aliEnd": 32}}, {"startStyle": "straight", "end": 197, "endStyle": "jagged", "aliStart": 177, "text": "Pax2_C", "colour": "#9999ff", "aliEnd": 196, "start": 171, "href": "http://pfam.xfam.org/family/PF12403.6", "type": "pfama", "display": "true", "metadata": {"end": 197, "description": "This domain family is found in eukaryotes, and is approximately 110 amino acids in length.
