The Role of ZAP and TRIM25 RNA Binding in Restricting Viral Translation

Abstract excerpt

The innate immune response controls the acute phase of virus infections; critical to this response is the induction of type I interferon (IFN) and resultant IFN-stimulated genes to establish an antiviral environment. One such gene, zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP), is a potent antiviral factor that inhibits replication of diverse RNA and DNA viruses by binding preferentially to CpG-rich viral RNA. ZAP...
