General Comments
The coronavirus (CoV) Nsp15 protein is a Mn2+-dependent, uridine specific endoribonuclease that helps the virus avoid triggering a host innate immune response [7,9], primarily by degrading poly(U) RNA (originating from the virus) that would otherwise form double-stranded (ds) RNAs with poly(A) RNA tails and activate host cell dsRNA sensors [1,4,6]. Nsp15 assembles as a homo-hexameric complex [1] that has higher substrate affinity than the enzyme monomer [3]. It is a molecular target for the discovery of new anti-CoV drugs [5,8]. Nsp15 is one of the proteins cleaved from the virus' polyprotein 1ab (pp1ab). We have included it here as a discrete protein to allow curation of interactions with selective chemical modulators.
