RpfG RNA motif explained
| rpfG |
| Symbol: | rpfG |
| Rfam: | RF03023 |
| Rna Type: | Gene
- sRNA
|
The rpfG RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] The rpfG RNA motif is found in the genus Xanthomonas.
rpfG RNAs are located upstream of rpfG genes, which likely function as part of cyclic di-GMP signaling by degrading this molecule. This observation might suggest that rpfG RNAs function as cis-regulatory elements.
