The COG3860 RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] COG3860 motifs are found in Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and Thermodesulfobacteriota. Energetically stable tetraloops often occur in this motif.
COG3860 motif RNAs likely function as cis-regulatory elements, in view of their positions upstream of protein-coding genes. Unfortunately the functions of the putatively regulated genes are not sufficiently well known to be able to hypothesize a biological function for COG3860 RNAs.
