  Function in Host
Acts as an activator of both rRNA/tRNA and proteinmethyltransferases. Together with methyltransferase BUD23, methylates the N (7) position ofa guanine in 18S rRNA. The heterodimer withN6AMT1/HEMK2 catalyzes N5-methylation of ETF1 on 'Gln-185', using S-adenosyl L-methionine as methyl donor. The heterodimer with N6AMT1/HEMK2also monomethylates 'Lys-12' of histone H4 (H4K12me1). The heterodimer with ALKBH8 catalyzes themethylation of 5-carboxymethyl uridine to 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridineat the wobble position of the anticodon loop in target tRNA species. Together with methyltransferase THUMPD3, catalyzesthe formation of N (2) -methylguanosine at position 6 in a broad range oftRNA substrates and at position 7 of tRNA (Trp). Involved in the pre-rRNA processing steps leading to small-subunit rRNAproduction. Together with methyltransferase METTL5, specifically methylates the 6th position of adenine in position 1832 of18S rRNA. [1-6]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [7]
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 TRMT112 in viral infection, TRMT112 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 TRMT112 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
