  Function in Host
Transcription factor specifically required to repress longinterspersed nuclear element 1 (L1) retrotransposons: recognizes andbinds L1 sequences and repress their expression by recruiting arepressive complex containing TRIM28/KAP1. Not ableto repress expression of all subtypes of L1 elements. Binds to the 5'end of L1PA4, L1PA5 and L1PA6 subtypes, and some L1PA3 subtypes. Doesnot bind to L1PA7 or older subtypes nor at the most recently evolvedL1PA2 and L1Hs. 50% of L1PA3 elements have lost the ZNF93-binding site, explaining why ZNF93 is not able to repress their expression.

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 ZNF93 in viral infection, ZNF93 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 ZNF93 increases SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels compared with control group.
