Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screen identifies host factors as potential therapeutic targets for SARS-CoV-2 infection

Abstract excerpt

Although many host factors important for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have been reported, the mechanisms by which the virus interacts with host cells remain elusive. Here, we identified tripartite motif containing (TRIM) 28, TRIM33, euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase (EHMT) 1, and EHMT2 as proviral factors involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection by CRISPR-Cas9...
