core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding [GO_0001046]

core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding

ID: GO_0001046

Class

Binding to a sequence of DNA that is part of a core promoter region. The core promoter is composed of the transcription start site and binding sites for the RNA polymerase and the basal transcription machinery. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon.
