FinP encodes an antisense non-coding RNA gene that is complementary to part of the TraJ 5' UTR. The FinOP system regulates the transfer of F-like plasmids. The traJ gene encodes a protein required for transcription from the major transfer promoter, pY. The FinO protein is essential for effective repression, acting by binding to FinP and protecting it from RNase E degradation.{{cite journal | vauthors = Jerome LJ, van Biesen T, Frost LS | title = Degradation of FinP antisense RNA from F-like plasmids: the RNA-binding protein, FinO, protects FinP from ribonuclease E | journal = Journal of Molecular Biology | volume = 285 | issue = 4 | pages = 1457–1473 | date = January 1999 | pmid = 9917389 | doi = 10.1006/jmbi.1998.2404 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Arthur DC, Ghetu AF, Gubbins MJ, Edwards RA, Frost LS, Glover JN | title = FinO is an RNA chaperone that facilitates sense-antisense RNA interactions | journal = The EMBO Journal | volume = 22 | issue = 23 | pages = 6346–6355 | date = December 2003 | pmid = 14633993 | pmc = 291848 | doi = 10.1093/emboj/cdg607 }}
