Tie something low on various high signals

I have a switch (literally 5V or 0V) that I would like to tie low if any 1 of 4 signals is high (also 5V or 0V). I imagine there is some part that I can use to do this, but my knowledge of random ICs etc is little.

Anyone have any ideas? I know I could do this with a number of MOSFETs but that would be ugly.
 
haha good idea, thats very simple too! I feel silly.
Its only like 5mA on the input/output signals
 
If you need to draw higher currents a simple transistor can be used like the following:

remember: this confguration acts like a NOT gate so a 4 input AND gate should be used instead
