RybB is a small non-coding RNA was identified in a large scale screen of Escherichia coli.[1] The function of this short RNA has been studied using a transcriptomic approach and kinetic analyses of target mRNA decay in vivo. RybB was identified as a factor that selectively accelerates the decay of multiple major omp mRNAs upon induction of the envelope stress response.[2] This RNA has been shown to bind to the Hfq protein.
In Salmonella, direct interactions for RybB with the following targets have been verified experimentally: STM2391 (fadL), STM1070 (ompA), STM2267 (ompC), STM1572 (ompD), STM0999 (ompF), STM1473 (ompN), STM1995 (ompS), STM1732 (ompW), STM0413 (tsx), STM0687 (ybfM, chiP) and STM1530.[3][4][5][6]
In Escherichia coli, direct interactions for RybB with the following targets have been verified experimentally: b0805 (fiu), b0721 (sdhC), b2215 (ompC), b1256 (ompW), b2594 (rluD) and b0081 (mraZ).[7][8][9][10]
