“…Here, we present biochemical and structural results on the putative cap-snatching endonuclease of Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), a highly pathogenic bunyavirus belonging to the Nairoviridae family, and of two additional nairoviruses, Erve virus (EREV) and Nairobi sheep disease virus (NSDV). Our findings are presented in the context of other cap-snatching endonucleases, such as the enzymatically active endonuclease from Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), from Arenaviridae and Bunyavirales, belonging to the His− and His+ endonucleases, respectively, according to the absence or presence of a metal ion–coordinating histidine in the active site. …”
