Abstract
⺠We previously identified HSP90AB1 as a host factor essential for HIV replication. ⺠HSP90AB1 expression rescued infectivity of HIV with incomplete CA-SP1 cleavage. ⺠Here we show that HSP90AB1 can also rescue HIV with defective cores. ⺠HSP90AB1 expression increases with hyperthermia. ⺠Hyperthermia increased HIV infectivity up to 30-fold and rescued CA-mutant virus.
