CCCH-type zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) is a host factor that restricts the infection of many viruses mainly through RNA degradation, translation inhibition and innate immune responses. So far, only one flavivirus, yellow fever virus, has been reported to be ZAP-resistant. Here, we investigated the antiviral potential of human ZAP (isoform ZAP-L and ZAP-S) against three flaviviruses, Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Infection of JEV but not DENV or ZIKV was blocked by ZAP overexpression, and depletion of endogenous ZAP enhanced JEV replication. ZAP hampered JEV translation and targeted viral RNA for 3′-5′ RNA exosome-mediated degradation. The zinc-finger motifs of ZAP were essential for RNA targeting and anti-JEV activity. JEV 3′-UTR, especially in the region with dumbbell structures and high content of CG dinucleotide, was mapped to bind ZAP and confer sensitivity to ZAP. In summary, we identified JEV as the first ZAP-sensitive flavivirus. ZAP may act as an intrinsic antiviral factor through specific RNA binding to fight against JEV infection. In addition to innate and adaptive immunities, many cellular proteins also exert antiviral activity against viral invasion. Human zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) is a cellular restriction factor against many viruses but its role with regard to the flavivirus family is largely unknown. We tested the antiviral potential of ZAP against three flaviviruses and found that Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) was ZAP-sensitive, while dengue virus and Zika virus were ZAP-resistant. ZAP specifically targets JEV viral RNA and induces translation repression and RNA degradation. Our findings highlight the ZAP-mediated anti-JEV mechanisms and extend the antiviral spectrum of ZAP to include a member of the Flavivirus genus.
