RybB is a small non-coding RNA was identified in a large scale screen of E. coli.[1] The function of this short RNA has been studied using a transcriptomic approach and kinetic analyses of target mRNA decay in vivo. RybB was identified as a factor that selectively accelerates the decay of multiple major omp mRNAs upon induction of the envelope stress response.[2] This RNA has been shown to bind to the Hfq protein.
