The folP RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] folP motifs are found in the genus Dialister.
folP motif RNAs likely function as cis-regulatory elements, in view of their positions upstream of protein-coding genes. The RNAs are, in most cases, followed by Rho-independent transcription terminators, which might participate in the cis regulation performed by folP RNAs. The RNAs are upstream of genes encoding dihydropteroate synthase, which is involved in folate metabolism.
