The house-keeping aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are increasingly recognized for their regulatory roles beyond protein synthesis. Research now uncovers a function of nuclear arginyl-tRNA synthetase in the regulation of alternative mRNA splicing through SRRM2 in response to inflammation and decreased arginine levels.
