  Function in Host
Promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to theA-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. Plays also a role inthe regulation of autophagy and innate immunity. Recruits ATG5-ATG12and NLRX1 at mitochondria and serves as a checkpoint of the RIG-I/DDX58-MAVS pathway. In turn, inhibits RLR-mediated type I interferonwhile promoting autophagy. [1-2]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [3]
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 TUFM in viral infection, TUFM 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 TUFM increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
