Transcription by moonlight: structural basis of an extraribosomal activity of ribosomal protein S10.
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Luo et al. (2008) show that S10 protein can function in the ribosome or the transcript elongation complex with minimal structural change, providing new insights into the roles of S10 and NusB in transcript elongation.
