Sequence Location [Isoform 1]: Nucleus
Biological Function [Isoform 1]: Transcription factor that is selectively and transiently expressed in cleavage-stage embryos (PubMed:28459457). Binds to double-stranded DNA elements with the consensus sequence 5'-TAATCTAATCA-3' (PubMed:28459457, PubMed:28459454, PubMed:29572508, PubMed:30540931, PubMed:30315230). Binds to chromatin containing histone H3 acetylated at 'Lys-27' (H3K27ac) and promotes deacetylation of H3K27ac. In parallel, binds to chromatin that lacks histone H3 acetylation at 'Lys-27' (H3K27ac) and recruits EP300 and CREBBP to promote acetylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-27' at new sites (PubMed:26951377). Involved in transcriptional regulation of numerous genes, primarily as transcriptional activator, but mediates also repression of a set of target genes (PubMed:17984056, PubMed:27378237, PubMed:26951377, PubMed:28459457, PubMed:28459454, PubMed:29618456, PubMed:30540931, PubMed:29572508). Promotes expression of ZSCAN4 and KDM4E, two proteins with essential roles during early embryogenesis (PubMed:27378237, PubMed:26951377, PubMed:28459457, PubMed:29618456). Heterologous expression in cultured embryonic stem cells mediates also transcription of HERVL retrotransposons and transcripts derived from ACRO1 and HSATII satellite repeats (PubMed:28459457). May activate expression of PITX1 (PubMed:17984056). May regulate microRNA (miRNA) expression (PubMed:24145033). Inappropriate expression can inhibit myogenesis and promote apoptosis (PubMed:26951377, PubMed:28935672, PubMed:29618456). {PubMed:17984056, PubMed:24145033, PubMed:26951377, PubMed:27378237, PubMed:28459454, PubMed:28459457, PubMed:28935672, PubMed:29572508, PubMed:29618456, PubMed:30315230, PubMed:30540931}.; [Isoform 2]: Probably inactive as a transcriptional activator, due to the absence of the C-terminal region that is important for transcriptional activation. Can inhibit transcriptional activation mediated by isoform 1. Heterologous expression of isoform 2 has no deleterious effect on cell survival. {PubMed:29618456}.
Research Areas Neuroscience
Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by the deletion of a subset of D4Z4 macro-satellite repeats on chromosome 4. Each repeat contains a retrogene encoding the double-homeobox factor DUX4. DUX4 expression is epi- genetically suppressed in differentiated tissues, and the residual DUX4 transcripts are spliced to remove the carboxyterminal domain that has been associated with cell toxicity. In FSHD individuals, the expression of the full-length DUX4 transcript is not completely suppressed in skeletal muscle and possibly other differentiated tissues.
Application Images
Description Immunohistochemistry: frozen or paraffin. Immunofluorescence: #57100 diluted 1:10,000 on rhabdomyosarcoma cell line RD transfected with pCS2-DUX4. Cells were counterstained with DAPI for nuclei.
Description #57100 diluted 1:10,000 on C2C12 cells transfected with pCS2-DUX4. There is a doublet because the expression construct contains an upstream alternate translation start codon. The lower band is the canonical size for DUX4. Positive control: human testis lysate.
