Summary
| Description |
English: Left: Molecular mechanism of zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) recognition of specific target RNA and also the mechanism by which ZAP coordinates downstream RNA degradation processes. ZAP is a host antiviral factor that specifically restricts a wide range of viruses. ZAP selectively binds to CG-dinucleotide-enriched RNA sequences and recruits multiple RNA degradation machines to degrade target viral RNA. Right: Crystal structure of the ZAP N-terminal domain bound to a CG-rich single-stranded RNA, providing the molecular basis for its specific recognition of a CG dinucleotide and additional guanine and cytosine. |
