  Function in Host
Lysine demethylase that demethylates both histones and non-histone proteins. Enzymatically inactive by itself, and becomes active followingphosphorylation by PKA: forms a complex with ARID5B and mediatesdemethylation of methylated ARID5B. Demethylation ofARID5B leads to target the PHF2-ARID5B complex to target promoters, where PHF2 mediates demethylation of dimethylated 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me2), followed by transcription activation of target genes. The PHF2-ARID5B complex acts as a coactivator ofHNF4A in liver. PHF2 is recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-4' of histoneH3 (H3K4me3) at rDNA promoters and promotes expression of rDNA. Involved in the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) -target inflammatory genes in macrophages by catalyzing thedemethylation of trimethylated histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me3) at thegene promoters.

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-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 PHF2 in viral infection, PHF2 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 PHF2 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
