  Function in Host
S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent 2'-O-ribosemethyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of 2'-O-methyluridine atposition 1369 (Um1369) in the 16S mitochondrial large subunit ribosomalRNA (mtLSU rRNA), a universally conserved modification in the peptidyltransferase domain of the mtLSU rRNA.

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-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 MRM2 in viral infection, MRM2 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 MRM2 leads to the decreased SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
