1. An isolated, non-naturally occurring DNA-binding polypeptide comprising: two or more TALE-repeat units, the TALE repeat units comprising a repeat variable di-residue (RVD) wherein the RVD binds to a nucleotide in a target DNA sequence;an N-cap polypeptide flanking the N-terminal portion of the TALE-repeat units, wherein the N-cap polypeptide comprises a fragment of a full length N-terminus region of a TALE protein, the fragment comprising residues between N+122 and N+137; anda C-cap polypeptide flanking the C-terminal portion of the TALE-repeat units, wherein the C-cap polypeptide comprises a fragment of a full length C-terminus region of a TALE protein,wherein the polypeptide binds to DNA. 2. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1, wherein at least one TALE-repeat unit comprises an atypical repeat variable di-residue (RVD). 3. The polypeptide of claim 2, wherein the polypeptide comprises an atypical RVD selected from the group consisting of IG, HG, NK, DI, EI, AI, CI, HI, KI, RI, YD, ED, RD, AD, KD, ND, HN, DK, AN, DH, AK, SN, IP, LA, YG, SG, VG and IA. 4.

A host cell comprising a polypeptide according to claim 1. 11. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a polypeptide according to claim 1. 12. A method of modulating expression of an endogenous gene in a cell, the method comprising: introducing into the cell a fusion protein according to claim 6, wherein the fusion protein comprises a TALE-repeat domain that binds to a target site in the endogenous gene and further wherein expression of the endogenous gene is modulated. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the modulation comprises gene activation. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the modulation comprises gene repression or inactivation. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the fusion protein comprises a cleavage domain or cleavage half-domain and the endogenous gene is inactivated by cleavage. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein inactivation occurs via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the fusion protein is introduced as a polynucleotide encoding the fusion protein. 18. A method of modifying a region of interest in the genome of a cell, the method comprising: introducing into the cell at least one fusion protein according to claim 8, wherein the fusion protein comprises a TALE-repeat domain that binds to a target site in the genome of the cell and the fusion protein cleaves the genome in the region of interest. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the modifying comprises introducing a deletion in the region of interest. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein the modifying comprises introducing an exogenous nucleic acid into the region of interest, the method further comprising introducing the exogenous nucleic acid into the cell, wherein the exogenous nucleic acid is integrated into the region of interest by homologous recombination. 21.
