The transcriptional regulator PLZF controls many of the key effector functions of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells but it is not clear how PLZF itself is regulated. Here, Pereira et al. demonstrate that a methlytransferase Jarid2 regulates PLZF expression and thus controls iNKT cell maturation.
