Did tRNA Synthetase Classes Arise on Opposite Strands of the Same Gene?

Structural homology of class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to the HSP70 family and the existence of a gene whose sense and antisense strands code for a dehydrogenase and an HSP70 chaperonin justify reconsideration of a possible sense-antisense ancestry for the two synthetase classes.
