  Function in Host
Catalyzes the cleavage of serine to glycine accompanied withthe production of 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate, an essentialintermediate for purine biosynthesis. Serine provides themajor source of folate one-carbon in cells by catalyzing the transferof one carbon from serine to tetrahydrofolate. Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesispathway via its role in glycine and tetrahydrofolate metabolism:thymidylate biosynthesis is required to prevent uracil accumulation inmtDNA. Also required for mitochondrial translation byproducing 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate; 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate providing methyl donors to produce thetaurinomethyluridine base at the wobble position of some mitochondrialtRNAs. Associates with mitochondrialDNA. In addition to its role in mitochondria, alsoplays a role in the deubiquitination of target proteins as component ofthe BRISC complex: required for IFNAR1 deubiquitination by the BRISCcomplex. [1-6]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [7]
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 SHMT2 in viral infection, SHMT2 protein knockdown 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 SHMT2 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
