I, too, am hunting for such a thing. I would be very interested in any
replies you might get -- I scan this newsgroup (which doesn't seem to have
much traffic), but if you get any replies via e-mail, I hope you'll share
them.
There was a thread on the bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts by someone looking
for a database of transcription factor binding sequences. Apparently,
there is a database(s) maintained at NCBI (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) which may be
what you're (we're) looking for. The description in the reply described a
SITES database, available in many formats (GCG, FASTA, etc.) in the
/repository/databses directory.
I haven't had a chance to check it out (just picked up the methds-reagnts
thread yesterday), but it might be helpful.
Let me know if you trip over any other hot leads...
