RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding [GO_0000978]

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 RNA polymerase II. Note that the phrase “upstream activating sequence”, or UAS is often used in S. cerevisiae literature to refer to cis-regulatory sequences. In bacteria such as E. coli, the phrase “upstream activating sequence”, or UAS is usually a synonym for “enhancer”.
