The protein shell that encases the viral genome, the capsid, is critical for HIV replication in cells at multiple steps. HIV capsid has been shown to interact with multiple cell proteins during movement to the cell nucleus in a poorly understood process that may differ during infection of different cell types. In this study, we show that premature or too much binding of one human protein, cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6), disrupts the ability of the capsid to deliver the viral genome to the cell nucleus. Another human protein, cyclophilin A (CypA), can shield HIV capsid from premature binding to CPSF6, which can differ in CD4+ T cells and macrophages. Better understanding of how HIV infects cells will allow better drugs to prevent or inhibit infection and pathogenesis.Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication depends on the activities of several host regulators of metabolism. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) was previously proposed to support virus replication through its metabolic regulatory function. HIF1α protein levels rise in response to HCMV infection in nonhypoxic conditions, but its effect on HCMV replication was not investigated. We addressed the role of HIF1α in HCMV replication by generating primary human cells with HIF1α knocked out using CRISPR/Cas9. When HIF1α was absent, we found that HCMV replication was enhanced, showing that HIF1α suppresses viral replication. We used untargeted metabolomics to determine if HIF1α regulates metabolite concentrations in HCMV-infected cells. We discovered that in HCMV-infected cells, HIF1α suppresses intracellular and extracellular concentrations of kynurenine. HIF1α also suppressed the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), the rate-limiting enzyme in kynurenine synthesis. In addition to its role in tryptophahesis, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), is suppressed
