KH and di-KH domains are generally recognized as RNA binding domains. However, the most ex-diKH of KHNYN lacks any detectable RNA-binding activity. Despite this it is required for ZAP-mediated antiviral activity.

A preprint for Xmas
KHNYN is an essential endoribonuclease for the antiviral protein ZAP which targets RNAs with clustered CpG
Dinucleotides. We performed some structural characterization of the N-terminal extended di-KH domain of KHNYN and its close relative N4BP1.

Structural and functional characterization of the KHNYN extended-diKH domain for mediating ZAP antiviral activity
Zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) binds CpG dinucleotides in viral RNA and targets them for decay. ZAP interacts with several cofactors to form the ZAP antiviral system, including KHNYN, a multidoma...

#worldAIDSday: Institut Cochin is a pioneering research centre in #HIV research. In 2024 we are delighted to have a new tenured researcher: Delphine Judith, who was recruited at Inserm in the Virus-Host Interaction team. She seeks to understand how HIV-1 overcomes host barriers to spread in the body
