The porB RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] porB motif RNAs are found in Neisseria.
porB RNAs are found upstream of porB genes, which encode porins, so they likely function as cis-regulatory elements. However it is also possible that the motif operates in trans as small RNAs.
