  Function in Host
RNA-binding protein that plays a central role inmyelinization. Binds to the 5'-NACUAAY-N (1, 20) -UAAY-3' RNA core sequence. Regulates target mRNA stability. In addition, acts by regulating pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA export and protein translation. Required to protect and promotestability of mRNAs such as MBP and CDKN1B. Regulator of oligodendrocytedifferentiation and maturation in the brain that may play a role inmyelin and oligodendrocyte dysfunction in schizophrenia. Participates in mRNA transport by regulating thenuclear export of MBP mRNA. Also involved in regulation of mRNAsplicing of MAG pre-mRNA. Acts as a translational repressor. [1-2]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [3]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time24 h
Infected CellA549 Cells (Adenocarcinomic Human alveolar basal epithelial cell) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_H249 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein QKI in viral infection, QKI protein knockout A549 Cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 24 h , and the effects on infection was detected through qRT-PCR.
ResultsIt is reported that knockdown of QKI leads to the reduced viral particles production 50% compared with control group.
