  Function in Host
Cytosolic metallopeptidase that catalyzes the removal ofunsubstituted N-terminal hydrophobic amino acids from various peptides. The presence of Zn (2+) ions is essential for the peptidase activity, and the association with other cofactors can modulate the substratespectificity of the enzyme. For instance, in the presence of Mn (2+), itdisplays a specific Cys-Gly hydrolyzing activity of Cys-Gly-S-conjugates. Involved in the metabolism of glutathione and in thedegradation of glutathione S-conjugates, which may play a role in thecontrol of the cell redox status.

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [1]
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 LAP3 in viral infection, LAP3 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 LAP3 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
