SraG RNA

SraG is a is a small non-coding RNA (ncRNA). It is the functional product of a gene which is not translated into protein.

This ncRNA was discovered in the bacteria "Escherichia coli" during a large scale computational screen for transcription signals and genomic features of known small RNA-encoding genescite journal | author = Argaman L, Hershberg R, Vogel J, "et al" | title = Novel small RNA-encoding genes in the intergenic regions of Escherichia coli | journal = Curr. Biol. | volume = 11 | issue = 12 | pages = 941–50 | year = 2001 | pmid = 11448770 | doi = | issn = ] . During this screen 14 novel ncRNA genes were identified.

The expression of SraG was experimentally confirmed by Northern blotting which also indicated this RNA undergoes specific cleavage processing . The function of this RNA is unknown.
