AtoC RNA motif

The atoC RNA motif is a conserved RNA-like structure identified by bioinformatics.[1] It consistently appears upstream of protein-coding gene that are predicted to encode oxidoreductase activity, dihydropteroate synthase (part of folate metabolism) or DNA-binding response regulators.
