  Function in Host
3'-5' RNA helicase that plays a key role in the male andfemale germline by promoting transition from mitotic to meioticdivisions in stem cells. Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A) -containing RNAs, a modification present at internal sites ofmRNAs and some non-coding RNAs that plays a role in the efficiency ofRNA processing and stability. Essential for ensuring a successful progression of the meiotic programin the germline by regulating the level of m6A-containing RNAs. Acts by binding and promoting degradation of m6A-containing mRNAs: the 3'-5' RNA helicase activity is required for thisprocess and RNA degradation may be mediated by XRN1 exoribonuclease. Required for both spermatogenesis and oogenesis. [1-3]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [4]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time7-9 Days
Infected CellCalu-3 Cells (Human epithelial cell line) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0609 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein YTHDC2 in viral infection, YTHDC2 protein knockout Calu-3 Cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 7 - 9 Days , and the effects on infection was detected through CRISPR-based genome-wide gene-knockout screen.
ResultsIt is reported that knockout of YTHDC2 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
