The Enterococcus-1 RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] Enterococcus-1 motif RNAs are found in bacteria of the genus Enterococcus.

Enterococcus-1 RNAs likely function in trans as small RNAs. Genes nearby to Enterococcus-1 RNAs are often related to phages or plasmids. Also, all four Enterococcus-1 RNAs that are in completed sequences are located in plasmids. Predicted Rho-independent transcription terminators are located roughly 70 nucleotides downstream of Enterococcus-1 RNAs.
