The nrdJ RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] The nrdJ motif is found in the genus Streptomyces.
nrdJ RNAs occur upstream of nrdJ genes, which encode class II ribonucleotide reductase. The RNAs therefore likely function as cis-regulatory elements, but this is uncertain because of some cases in which the downstream gene is located very far away.
