  Function in Host
Histone demethylase required for brain development. Specifically demethylates dimethylated 'Lys-9', 'Lys-27' and 'Lys-36' (H3K9me2, H3K27me2, H3K36me2, respectively) of histone H3 andmonomethylated histone H4 'Lys-20' residue (H4K20Me1), thereby playinga central role in histone code. Specifically binds trimethylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me3), affecting histone demethylase specificity: in presence of H3K4me3, ithas no demethylase activity toward H3K9me2, while it has high activitytoward H3K27me2. Demethylates H3K9me2 in absence of H3K4me3. Has activity toward H4K20Me1 only when nucleosome isused as a substrate and when not histone octamer is used as substrate. [1-2]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-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 KDM7A in viral infection, KDM7A 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 KDM7A leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
