sRNA binding motifs. Common sequence motifs identified in E. coli RIL-seq target sets of RyhB and ArcZ (Melamed et al. 2016), which are complementary to the respective binding sites on the sRNAs (marked in green). The y-axis depicts the information content of a position, in bits. Black vertical lines denote base-pairing interactions. The blue arrows mark highly preserved positions, hereinafter, termed “prime positions.”
