TLDR
In this article, the authors summarize the currently available information on human RNases that can target viral pathogens, with special focus on enveloped single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses.Abstract:
Owing to the recent outbreak of Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19), it is urgent to develop effective and safe drugs to treat the present pandemic and prevent other viral infections that might come in the future. Proteins from our own innate immune system can serve as ideal sources of novel drug candidates thanks to their safety and immune regulation versatility. Some host defense RNases equipped with antiviral activity have been reported over time. Here, we try to summarize the currently available information on human RNases that can target viral pathogens, with special focus on enveloped single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses. Overall, host RNases can fight viruses by a combined multifaceted strategy, including the enzymatic target of the viral genome, recognition of virus unique patterns, immune modulation, control of stress granule formation, and induction of autophagy/apoptosis pathways. The review also includes a detailed description of representative enveloped ssRNA viruses and their strategies to interact with the host and evade immune recognition. For comparative purposes, we also provide an exhaustive revision of the currently approved or experimental antiviral drugs. Finally, we sum up the current perspectives of drug development to achieve successful eradication of viral infections.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used cryo-EM to capture structures of Nsp15 bound to RNA in pre-and post-cleavage states, and determined how the sequence of the RNA substrate dictates cleavage and found that outside of polyU tracts, nsp15 has a strong preference for purines 3' of the cleaved uridine.

Mouse hepatitis coronavirus replication induces host translational shutoff and mRNA decay, with concomitant formation of stress granules and processing bodies
TL;DR: It is proposed that MHV replication induces host translational shutoff by triggering an integrated stress response, at least in vitro, since viral replication was not negatively affected but rather enhanced in cells with impaired translationalShutoff.
