Abstract
Zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) are a huge family comprised of massive, structurally diverse proteins characterized by zinc ion coordinating. They engage in the host-virus interplay in-depth and occupy a significant portion of the host antiviral arsenal. Nucleic acid-binding is the basic property of certain ZFPs, which draws increasing attention due to their immense influence on viral infections. ZFPs exert multiple roles on the viral replications and host cell transcription profiles by recognizing viral genomes and host mRNAs. Their roles could be either antiviral or proviral and were separately discussed. Our review covers the recent research progress and provides a comprehensive understanding of ZFPs in antiviral immunity based on their DNA/RNA binding property.
