==Examples== DNA-binding [[protein]]s include [[transcription factor]]s which [[Gene modulation|modulate]] the process of transcription, various [[polymerase]]s, [[nuclease]]s which cleave DNA molecules, and [[histone]]s which are involved in [[chromosome]] packaging and transcription in the [[cell nucleus]]. DNA-binding proteins can incorporate such domains as the [[zinc finger]], the [[helix-turn-helix]], and the [[leucine zipper]] (among many others) that facilitate binding to nucleic acid. There are also more unusual examples such as [[TAL effector|transcription activator like effectors]].
