-> I'm looking for a database about known DNA binding proteins with 
-> sequence specificity. My goal is to obtain, if it is known, the protein 
-> name corresponding to a DNA binding motif.
-> Any suggestion?

JASPAR, http://mordor.cgb.ki.se/cgi-bin/jaspar2005/jaspar_db.pl

You can also try Transfac, but it's only commercially available, AFAIK.

I have some tools that might help you search the JASPAR database; I've
never found their interface terribly intuitive.  Respond off-list if
you're interested.

cheers,
