Until someone from NCBI confirms that DAVID is being monitored/looked after by a real person(s) you should try to find an alternate source for those services.
Enrichr appears to be a popular replacement. See if that works for your genome.

+1 for Enrichr and the preprint , it was highlighted , DAVID is really being outdated and one should also read the article highlighted by Daniel Swan, it is quite important to work with updated tools as far as the field is concerned to formulate testable hypothesis.

Finally all the rants did add to the positive outcome ... Now will have to again try to re-do some analysis testing DAVID with others to find out its improvement. The ad-hoc list of tasks for my own personal enrichment of tools just goes on increasing. But am glad it really worked out after all those blog posts. Just my random outcry. :P

the updated DAVID includes protein_interactions option even for plants what I think was absent previous updating.

If you are interested in mouse or human, try the Ensembl regulatory build. It contains the annotation of TFBS based on ENCODE, Blueprint and Roadmap data. It can be viewed on the browser, downloaded from the FTP or accessed via BioMart, Perl API or REST API.

I think the OP does not work with human or mice if I can correctly recall from her previous posts and she is interested in other species Arabidopsis sp so I would suggest to look at the below links

TAIR

Hope these helps

thank you

you all right I am working with plants and fortunately in paper proposed by Daniel Swan I found GOEAST that even covers rarely cited plants

I see. Have you heard of AthaMap? It may be useful as well.

Looks very interesting , so now the OP has a lot of options , just be careful and chose the one with most updated annotations, that is all what I would suggest and also see to what extent all these are cited and have been widely used.
