| Plasmid RNAIII |
| Symbol: | Plasmid_RNAIII |
| Rfam: | RF00235 |
| Rna Type: | Gene |
| Tax Domain: | Bacteria |
Plasmid RNAIII is a non-coding RNA found in bacterial plasmids including pIP501. RNAIII acts by transcriptional attenuation of the essential repR-mRNA. RNAIII is composed of four stem-loops with loops L3 and L4 that interact with the RNA target.[1]
