The SraA RNA is a small non-coding RNA that was discovered in E. coli during two large scale screens.[1][2] SraE (also known as RygB) is highly abundant in stationary phase, but low levels could be detected in exponentially growing cells as well. RygB is adjacent to RygA a closely related RNA. The function of these RNAs is unknown but it seems likely given that they bind to the Hfq protein that they regulate gene expression by antisense binding.
