The T-cell antigen receptor zeta (ζ) chain contains signal-transducing motifs, and its downregulation has been linked with impaired in vitro T-cell function in cancer and autoimmune and infectious diseases. However, the exact molecular mechanisms involved are unknown. In the September 21 Nature Immunology, Noemí Bronstein-Sitton and colleagues at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School show that reduced ζ expression is the normal outcome of an excessive and potentially hazar
