Summary: Enables RNA binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to virus; negative regulation of viral genome replication; and regulation of defense response to virus by host. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Orthologous to human ZC3HAV1 (zinc finger CCCH-type containing, antiviral 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?

These results indicate that phosphorylation of ZAP by GSK3beta modulates ZAP activity.
Title: Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) modulates antiviral activity of zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP).
Zap molecules interact to form a dimer that binds to a Zap-responsive RNA molecule containing two Zap-binding modules.
Title: Structure of N-terminal domain of ZAP indicates how a zinc-finger protein recognizes complex RNA.
The integrity of the very N-terminal domain and the first and second zinc-finger motifs appear to be required for ZAP's antiviral activity.
Title: Mutagenesis analysis of the zinc-finger antiviral protein.
expression inhibits the replication of multiple members of the Alphavirus genus within the Togaviridae, including Sindbis virus, Semliki Forest virus, Ross River virus, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus
Title: Expression of the zinc-finger antiviral protein inhibits alphavirus replication.
Results demonstrate that ZAP is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm at steady state but shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner.
Title: ZAP is a CRM1-dependent nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein.
Expression of the gene caused a profound and specific loss of viral messenger RNAs from the cytoplasm without affecting the levels of nuclear mRNAs; findings suggests the existence of a previously unknown machinery for the inhibition of virus replication
Title: Inhibition of retroviral RNA production by ZAP, a CCCH-type zinc finger protein.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
