  Function in Host
Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), amolecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of proteins uponATP hydrolysis. The TRiC complex mediates the foldingof WRAP53/TCAB1, thereby regulating telomere maintenance. As part of the TRiC complex may play a role in theassembly of BBSome, a complex involved in ciliogenesis regulatingtransports vesicles to the cilia. The TRiC complexplays a role in the folding of actin and tubulin. [1]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [2]
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 CCT8 in viral infection, CCT8 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 CCT8 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
