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.
