Abstract

The limited size of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) genome and the small number of proteins it encodes make the virus highly dependent on host proteins for its replication. Four genome-wide RNAi screens have recently identified a large number of HIV-1 dependency factors (HDFs), with the majority of these proteins never before associated with HIV-1 replication. Recently, we reported more than 3 log variation in the ability of HIV-1 to replicate in monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) derived from >4OO healthy seronegative blood donors. In our present study we determined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding the newly identified HDFs were associated with this variation in HIV-1 replication.
