PRRSV nonstructural protein 11 (NSP11) consists of two domains. The N-terminal domain adopts an alpha/beta structure composed of a central antiparallel four-stranded beta-sheet packed with helices on both sides and capped with a beta-hairpin [1]. This domain may be involved in oligomerisation.

This entry represents the C-terminal domain of coronavirus non-structural protein 15 (NSP15 or nsp15). NSP15 is encoded by ORF1a/1ab and proteolytically released from the pp1a/1ab polyprotein. This domain exhibits endoribonuclease activity designated EndoU, highly conserved in all known CoVs and is part of the replicase-transcriptase complex that plays important roles in virus replication and transcription [1, 2, 3]. NSP15 is a Uridylate-specific endoribonuclease that cleaves the 5'-polyuridines from negative-sense viral RNA, termed PUN RNA either upstream or downstream of uridylates, at GUU or GU to produce molecules with 2',3'-cyclic phosphate ends [2, 3]. PUN RNA is a CoV MDA5-dependent pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) [3].
