  Function in Host
Component of the ribosome assembly machinery. Nuclear paralogof the ribosomal protein P0, it binds pre-60S subunits at an earlystage of assembly in the nucleolus, and is replaced by P0 incytoplasmic pre-60S subunits and mature 80S ribosomes. [1]

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 MRTO4 in viral infection, MRTO4 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 MRTO4 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
