SARS-CoV-2 nsp15 preferentially degrades AU-rich dsRNA via its dsRNA nickase activity
5 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
It has been proposed that coronavirus nsp15 mediates evasion of host cell double-stranded (ds) RNA sensors via its uracil-specific endoribonuclease activity. However, how nsp15 processes viral dsRNA, commonly considered as a genome replication intermediate, remains elusive. Previous research has mainly focused on short single-stranded RNA as substrates, and whether nsp15 prefers single-stranded or double-stranded...
