A minimal complex of KHNYN and zinc-finger antiviral protein binds and degrades single-stranded RNA

Significance In cells, ZAP (zinc-finger antiviral protein) and KHNYN (KH-like and NYN domain containing protein) act together with partners to recognize and deplete viral RNA containing CpG dinucleotide clusters. Using… Click to show full abstract

Significance In cells, ZAP (zinc-finger antiviral protein) and KHNYN (KH-like and NYN domain containing protein) act together with partners to recognize and deplete viral RNA containing CpG dinucleotide clusters. Using purified recombinant proteins and biochemical assays, we define a minimal ZAP:KHNYN complex that degrades single-stranded RNA and propose a model for how this core would interact with viral RNA that contains CpG clusters.
