Conservation and innovation in the DUX4-family gene network
Open accessAbstract
Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD; MIM158900, MIM158901) is caused by misexpression of the DUX4 transcription factor in skeletal muscle. Animal models of FSHD are hindered by incomplete knowledge regarding the conservation of the DUX4 transcriptional program in other species. Despite the divergence of their binding motifs, both mouse DUX and human DUX4 in mouse and human muscle cells, respectively, activate genes associated with cleavage-stage embryos, including MERVL and ERVL–MaLR retrotransposons. We found that human DUX4 expressed in mouse cells maintained modest activation of cleavage-stage genes driven by conventional promoters but did not activate MERVL-promoted genes. Thus, the ancestral DUX4-regulated genes are characteristic of cleavage-stage embryos and are driven by conventional promoters, whereas divergence of the DUX4 and DUX homeodomains correlates with retrotransposon specificity. These results provide insight into how species balance conservation of a core transcriptional program with innovation at retrotransposon promoters, and establish a basis for animal models recreating the FSHD transcriptome.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
