In this study, we analyzed the gene structure, chemical characterizations, chromosome locations, evolutionary relationship, and expression profile of hsp90 genes with online database. In addition, the expression levels of hsp90s were also investigated under heat stress by quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR. A total of eight hsp90 genes were identified from the rainbow trout genome. They were all distributed on chromosomes 2, 4, 8, and 13. The molecular weight ranged from 78.93 to 91.39 kDa, and the isoelectric point ranged from 4.84 to 4.96. The eight hsp90 genes were clustered into six subfamilies (A, B, C, D, E, and F). Genetic structure and conserved domain analysis revealed that all eight hsp90 genes had only one exon, and motif 1–motif 10 was shared by most genes. According to RNA-seq analysis of rainbow trout liver and head kidney, a total of seven out of eight genes were significantly upregulated under heat stress, and qRT-PCR was carried out on these seven genes; the expression levels of these genes were significantly upregulated under heat stress. The significantly regulated expressions of hsp90 genes under heat stress indicated that hsp90 genes are involved in heat stress response in rainbow trout. This study provides a theoretical basis for further study on the role of hsp90 in the heat stress tolerance of rainbow trout.
