RNAI is a non-coding RNA
Non-coding RNA

A non-coding RNA is a functional RNA molecule that is not Translation into a protein. Less-frequently used synonyms are non-protein-coding RNA , non-messenger RNA , small non-messenger RNA , functional RNA ....
 that is an antisense repressor of the replication of some E. coli plasmids, including ColE1. Plasmid replication is usually initiated by RNAII, which acts as a primer by binding to its template DNA
DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a nucleic acid that contains the genetics instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses....
. The complementary RNAI binds RNAII prohibiting it from its initiation role. The rate of degradation of RNAI is therefore a major factor in control of plasmid replication. This rate of degradation is aided by the pcnB (plasmid copy number B) gene product, which polyadenylates the 3' end of RNAI targeting it for degradation by PNPase.
