CUL2 and COVID-19: CUL2ZYG11B known as the substrate receptor of cullin-2 RING E3 ligase, is bound by SARS-CoV-2 ORF10 to increase its E3 ligase activity, leading to degradation of IFT46, a protein component of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex B. This results in dysfunctional cilia, which explains certain symptoms that are specific to COVID-19.
