nsp15 of SARS-CoV-2 shares 88% sequence identity and 95% sequence similarity with nsp15 of SARS-CoV-1. Similar to its SARS-CoV-1 orthologue, nsp15 of SARS-CoV-2 forms a hexamerthat consists of a dimer of trimers. Hexamer formation is necessary for the endonuclease activity of nsp15. nsp15 preferentially cleaves 3' of uridines, generating 2'-3' cyclic phosphates after cleavage. nsp15 requires Mn2+ ions for catalytic activity. C-terminal domain contains the active site, which faces away from the center of the hexamer and contains the extreme C-terminal residues (Kim et al. 2020).
