The M23 RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics. [1] M23 motif RNAs are found in Clostridia.
M23 RNAs are generally located upstream of protein-coding genes, and therefore they might function as cis-regulatory elements. Most M23 RNAs are located upstream of M23 peptidase genes, but one is upstream of a gene whose product is NAD synthetase. However, there were two cases where no downstream gene was located. [1] While these cases had technical explanations not related to biology, [1] it is possible they the technical explanations do not apply, and that the M23 RNA motif functions as a small RNA.
An M23 RNA was observed to apparently bind a molecule in yeast extract. [1] However, this putative molecule has not (as of 2018) been identified.
