Chlorobi-1 RNA motif

The Chlorobi-1 RNA motif is a conserved RNA secondary structure identified by bioinformatics. It is predicted to be used only by Chlorobiota (formerly Chlorobi), a phylum of bacteria. The motif consists of two stem-loops that are followed by an apparent rho-independent transcription terminator. The motif is presumed to function as an independently transcribed non-coding RNA.

A number of other RNAs were identified in the same study, including:

• Bacteroidales-1 RNA motif
• CrcB RNA Motif
• Gut-1 RNA motif
• JUMPstart RNA motif
• Lactis-plasmid RNA motif
• Lacto-usp RNA motif
• MraW RNA motif
• Ocean-V RNA motif
• PsaA RNA motif
• Pseudomon-Rho RNA motif
• Rne-II RNA motif
