The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family of chaperones is essential for rhinovirus replication
Rhinoviruses (RVs) are the predominant cause of the common cold and a major trigger of acute asthma exacerbations. Yet, unlike related enteroviruses such as poliovirus (PV) and enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), no approved vaccines or antivirals exist. Because enteroviruses depend heavily on host factors for replication, cellular proteins that support the replication of multiple enteroviruses have…
