  Function in Host
Mediates pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulation. Actseither as activator or repressor of splicing on specific pre-mRNAtargets. Inhibits cardiac troponin-T (TNNT2) pre-mRNA exon inclusionbut induces insulin receptor (IR) pre-mRNA exon inclusion in muscle. Antagonizes the alternative splicing activity pattern of CELF proteins. RNA-binding protein that binds to 5'ACACCC-3' core sequence, termedzipcode, within the 3'UTR of ITGA3. Binds to CUG triplet repeatexpansion in myotonic dystrophy muscle cells by sequestering the targetRNAs. Seems to regulate expression and localization of ITGA3 bytransporting it from the nucleus to cytoplasm at adhesion plaques. Mayplay a role in myotonic dystrophy pathophysiology (DM). [1-3]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [4]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time48 h
Infected CellCalu-3 cells (Human lung cancer cell line) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0609 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein MBNL2 in viral infection, MBNL2 protein knockout Calu-3 cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 48 h , and the effects on infection was detected through qRT-PCR.
ResultsIt is reported that Knockdown of MBNL2 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
