Five models that explain the occurrence of different binding motifs in MADS-domain protein ChIP-seq data analyzed in the present study. a The MADS-domain protein binds to a CArG-box. b The MADS-domain protein binds to another transcription factor, which binds DNA at a motif specific for that transcription factor. c Same as (a), but because by chance or as part of an enhanceosome there is a binding site of another transcription factor close by, both the CArG-box and the other motif occur in the ChIP-seq peak. d The MADS-domain protein needs another transcription factor for binding to a motif that is a hybrid between a CArG-box and the motif for the other transcription factor. e The motif is competitively bound by the MADS-domain protein and another protein and is therefore a hybrid between a CArG-box and the motif of the other transcription factor
