Abstract

Evolving from an enzyme and into a regulator Proteins, the work-horses of the cell, are made on a messenger RNA (mRNA) template. An enzyme called aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (AARSs) attaches the correct amino acid to a transfer RNA so that mRNA is accurately translated. Over evolution, additional sequences have been added to AARSs. Lo et al. found a large number of AARS variants in which the domain responsible for enzyme function was deleted. Ninety-four such variants had diverse signaling activities. Thus, AARSs are used both as enzymes and alternately as regulators of signaling pathways. Science , this issue p. 328
