In eukaryotic organisms there are transcription factor families in which basically the DNA binding domain is common but the rest of the sequence varies widely. What is known about the origin(s) of such families?

That is definitely one possibility and probably happens frequently. But sometimes the sequences seem to be too different to have arisen from a duplication event. Are there other possible mechanisms?
