The L17 downstream element RNA motif (also called L17DE) is a conserved
3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of these genes. The element is found in a variety of lactic acid bacteria and in the genus Listeria
.
5' untranslated regions. They bind the protein
encoded by the adjacent gene, and are part of a feedback mechanism to regulate the abundance of the relevant ribosomal subunit proteins. Although regulation of an upstream gene is rare in bacteria, the L17 downstream element is positioned so as to perform feedback regulation from the 3' UTR.
An RNA transcript overlapping was detected by microarray experiments that overlaps a predicted L17 downstream element RNA.[2] The overlapping RNA was called SR79100.
