Subject: Eukaryotic cis-acting transcription regulatory elements

Is there a database of consensus transcription factor recognition sequences
that can be used to scan a promoter sequence? I find running a promoter
sequence against the entire database at low enough "stringency" to
identify short regulatory elements generates a very large number of
irrelevent matches. If not, are there any moves to compiling and maintaining
such a database?
