title: Not just because it is there: aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases gain control of the cell.
abstract: In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Jia et al. (2008) demonstrate that time-controlled repression of interferon-induced transcripts depends upon the interaction between an RNA structure in these transcripts and protein domains harbored by a mammalian aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
