  Function in Host
Component of the 20S core proteasome complex involved in theproteolytic degradation of most intracellular proteins. This complexplays numerous essential roles within the cell by associating withdifferent regulatory particles. Associated with two 19S regulatoryparticles, forms the 26S proteasome and thus participates in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. The 26S proteasomeplays a key role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis by removingmisfolded or damaged proteins that could impair cellular functions, andby removing proteins whose functions are no longer required. Associatedwith the PA200 or PA28, the 20S proteasome mediates ubiquitin-independent protein degradation. This type of proteolysis is requiredin several pathways including spermatogenesis (20S-PA200 complex) orgeneration of a subset of MHC class I-presented antigenic peptides (20S-PA28 complex). [1-3]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [4]
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 PSMA4 in viral infection, PSMA4 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 PSMA4 leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
