RydC RNA explained

RydC RNA
Symbol:	RydC
Rfam:	RF00505
Rna Type:	Gene sRNA
Tax Domain:	Bacteria

RydC is a bacterial non-coding RNA. RydC is thought to regulate a mRNA, yejABEF, which encodes an ABC transporter protein. RydC is known to bind the Hfq protein, which causes a conformational change in the RNA molecule. The Hfq/RydC complex is then thought to bind to the target mRNA and induce its degradation.^[1]
