Structure of SARS-CoV-2 MTase nsp14 with the inhibitor STM957 reveals inhibition mechanism that is shared with a poxviral MTase VP39
Nsp14 is an RNA methyltransferase (MTase) encoded by all coronaviruses. In fact, many viral families, including DNA viruses, encode MTases that catalyze the methylation of the RNA precap structure, resulting in fully capped viral RNA. This capping is crucial for efficient viral RNA translation, stab...
