The Methylobacterium-1 RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure discovered using bioinformatics.[1] Almost all known examples of this RNA are found in DNA extracted from marine bacteria. However, one instance is predicted in Methylobacterium sp. 4-46, a species of alphaproteobacteria. The motif is presumed to function as a non-coding RNA.
