It is ambiguous whether Cupriavidus-1 RNAs function as cis-regulatory elements or whether they operate in trans. In some cases they are located between genes encode subunits of ATP synthase, but there are too few Cupriavidus-1 RNAs that are known in order to determine whether this association has biological significance.
