The Lacto-usp RNA motif is a conserved
universal stress protein. It was proposed that the Lacto-usp might correspond to the 6S RNA
of the relevant species, because four of five of these species lack a predicted 6S RNA, and 6S RNAs commonly occur in 5′ UTRs of usp genes. However, given that the Lacto-usp RNA motif is much shorter than the standard 6S RNA structure, the function of Lacto-usp RNAs remains unclear.
