  Function in Host
F-actin-capping proteins bind in a Ca (2+) -independent mannerto the fast growing ends of actin filaments (barbed end) therebyblocking the exchange of subunits at these ends. Unlike other cappingproteins (such as gelsolin and severin), these proteins do not severactin filaments. May play a role in the formation of epithelial celljunctions. [1]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [2]
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 CAPZA1 in viral infection, CAPZA1 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 CAPZA1 leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
