  Function in Host
Single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein that bindspreferentially to oligo dC. Major cellular poly (rC) -binding protein. Binds also poly (rU). Negatively regulates cellular antiviral responsesmediated by MAVS signaling. It acts as an adapterbetween MAVS and the E3 ubiquitin ligase ITCH, therefore triggeringMAVS ubiquitination and degradation. [1-2]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-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 PCBP2 in viral infection, PCBP2 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 PCBP2 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
