SroC is found in several enterobacterial species.

[1] This RNA interacts with the Hfq protein.

SroC acts as a ‘sponge,’ and base pairs with and regulates activity of the sRNA GcvB.

This interaction triggers the degradation of GcvB by RNase E, alleviating the GcvB-mediated mRNA repression of other amino acid-related transport and metabolic genes.
