  Function in Host
Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that acts as a post-transcriptional repressor by binding the 3'-UTR of mRNA targets. Bindsto an RNA consensus sequence, the Pumilio Response Element (PRE), 5'-UGUANAUA-3', that is related to the Nanos Response Element (NRE). Mediates post-transcriptional repression oftranscripts via different mechanisms: acts via direct recruitment ofthe CCR4-POP2-NOT deadenylase leading to translational inhibition andmRNA degradation. Also mediates deadenylation-independent repression by promoting accessibility of miRNAs. Acts as a post-transcriptionalrepressor of E2F3 mRNAs by binding to its 3'-UTR and facilitating miRNAregulation. Plays a role in cytoplasmic sensing ofviral infection. Represses a program of genesnecessary to maintain genomic stability such as key mitotic, DNA repairand DNA replication factors. Its ability to repress those target mRNAsis regulated by the lncRNA NORAD (non-coding RNA activated by DNAdamage) which, due to its high abundance and multitude of PUMILIObinding sites, is able to sequester a significant fraction of PUM1 andPUM2 in the cytoplasm. May regulate DCUN1D3 mRNAlevels. May support proliferation and self-renewal ofstem cells. Binds specifically to miRNA MIR199A precursor, with PUM1, regulates miRNA MIR199A expression at a postranscriptional level. [1-4]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [5]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time48 h
Infected CellCalu-3 cells (Human lung cancer cell) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0609 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein PUM2 in viral infection, PUM2 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 PUM2 leads to the reduced SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
