The human zinc finger antiviral protein ZAP potently restricts many important viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and HIV. ZAP comes in two flavors, with a long and a short variant exhibiting slightly different functions that demand characterization. We carefully dissected how these ZAP variants are made, and revealed that the ZAP variants regulate the RNAs of many genes involved in new cellular pathways, including a cellular stress response and a pathway that induces cell migration. Hence, ZAP emerges as a regulator of important cellular processes with relevance to cancer. Our elucidation of the synthesis, cellular targets and pathways of its variants is paramount to pharmacologically target ZAP for immunomodulation or cancer treatment, of which we also provide proof of concept. Human ZAP inhibits many viruses, including HIV and coronaviruses, by binding to viral RNAs to promote their degradation and/or translation suppression. However, the regulatory role of ZAP in host mRNAs is largely unknown. Two major alternatively spliced ZAP isoforms, the constitutively expressed ZAPL and the infection-inducible ZAPS, play overlapping yet different antiviral and other roles that need further characterization. We found that the splicing factors hnRNPA1/A2, PTBP1/2, and U1-snRNP inhibit ZAPS production and demonstrated the feasibility to modulate the ZAPL/S balance by splice-switching antisense oligonucleotides in human cells. Transcriptomic analysis of ZAP-isoform–specific knockout cells revealed uncharacterized host mRNAs targeted by ZAPL/S with broad cellular functions such as unfolded protein response (UPR), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and innate immunity. We established that endogenous ZAPL and ZAPS localize to membrane compartments and cytosol, respectively, and that the differential localization correlates with their target-RNA specificity. We showed that the ZAP isoforms regulated different UPR branches under resting and stress conditions and affected cell viability during ER stress. We also provided evidence for a different function of the ZAP isoforms in EMT-related cell migration, with effects that are cell-type dependent. Overall, this study demonstrates that the competition between splicing and IPA is a potential target for the modulation of the ZAPL/S balance, and reports new cellular transcripts and processes regulated by the ZAP isoforms.
