  Function in Host
Mismatch-specific DNA N-glycosylase involved in DNA repair. Has thymine glycosylase activity and is specific for G:T mismatcheswithin methylated and unmethylated CpG sites. Can also remove uracil or5-fluorouracil in G:U mismatches. Has no lyase activity. Was firstidentified as methyl-CpG-binding protein. [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 MBD4 in viral infection, MBD4 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 MBD4 leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
