  Function in Host
The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerasedelta and epsilon requires the action of the accessory proteinsproliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and activator 1. This subunitmay be involved in the elongation of the multiprimed DNA template.

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [1]
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 RFC4 in viral infection, RFC4 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 RFC4 leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
