FnrS RNA is a family of Hfq-binding small RNA whose expression is upregulated in response to anaerobic conditions. It is named FnrS because its expression is strongly dependent on fumarate and nitrate reductase regulator , a direct oxygen availability sensor.
A conserved intergenic region between genes ydaN and dbpA was predicted to encode an sRNA, adjacent to where another non-coding RNA has been identified. However, northern blot analysis of this 477bp sequence yielded no results. A subsequent tiling array analysis sequencing Hfq-binding sRNA found that the Watson strand did indeed encode an sRNA.
