SAOUHSCs221 is expressed antisense to the IS200 transposase sequence, at the level of the 5’UTR sequence of the transposase ORF. Construction of this family only identified homologues in Firmicutes. However a small RNA named art200 (antisense regulator of transposase IS200) was also described E. coli and S. enterica (enterobacteria).[4]
