A Hfq binding sRNA is a sRNA that binds the bacterial RNA binding protein called Hfq. A number of bacterial small RNAs which have been shown to bind to Hfq have been characterised (see table). Many of these RNAs share a similar structure composed of three stem-loops. Recent studies have expanded this list and experimentally validated a total of 64 Hfq binding sRNA in S. typhimurium.
