{{DISPLAYTITLE:atpB RNA motif}}

The atpB RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.{{cite journal |vauthors=Weinberg Z, Lünse CE, Corbino KA, Ames TD, Nelson JW, Roth A, Perkins KR, Sherlock ME, Breaker RR |title=Detection of 224 candidate structured RNAs by comparative analysis of specific subsets of intergenic regions |journal=Nucleic Acids Research |volume=45 |issue=18 |pages=10811–10823 |date=October 2017 |pmid=28977401 |pmc=5737381 |doi=10.1093/nar/gkx699 }}

atpB motifs are found in Corynebacteriaceae.

These RNAs are consistently located upstream of atpB genes, which encode a protein that is part of ATP synthase. Therefore, it is possible that atpB RNAs regulate these genes as cis-regulatory elements.
