SroC RNA
Encyclopedia
The bacterial SroC RNA is an non-coding RNA
gene of around 160 nucleotides in length. sroC is found in several Enterobacterial species but its function is unknown. This RNA interacts with the Hfq protein

Non-coding RNA
A non-coding RNA is a functional RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein. Less-frequently used synonyms are non-protein-coding RNA , non-messenger RNA and functional RNA . The term small RNA is often used for short bacterial ncRNAs...

Hfq protein
The Hfq protein encoded by the hfq gene was discovered in 1968 as an Escherichia. coli host factor that was essential for replication of the bacteriophage Qβ. It is now clear that Hfq is an abundant bacterial RNA binding protein which has many important physiological roles. Usually mediated by...
