The rpfG RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] The rpfG RNA motif is found in the genus Xanthomonas.

rpfG RNAs are located upstream of rpfG genes, which likely function as part of cyclic di-GMP signaling by degrading this molecule. This observation might suggest that rpfG RNAs function as cis-regulatory elements.
