Proteins display two modes of DNA binding, which hinge on the homeodomain and on the linker that separates it from the CUT domain, and two modes of transcriptional stimulation, which hinge on the homeodomain.{{Cite journal | last1 = Yamasaki | first1 = K. | last2 = Akiba | first2 = T. | last3 = Yamasaki | first3 = T. | last4 = Harata | first4 = K. | title = Structural basis for recognition of the matrix attachment region of DNA by transcription factor SATB1 | doi = 10.1093/nar/gkm504 | journal = Nucleic Acids Research | volume = 35 | issue = 15 | pages = 5073–5084 | year = 2007 | pmid = 17652321 | pmc =1976457
