Abstract Transcriptome sequencing (RNA‐seq) is emerging as a diagnostic standard for B‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL). Expression‐based classifiers reach ~95% accuracy, but reproducible end‐to‐end solutions that also integrate transcript‐derived genomic drivers and quantitative virtual karyotyping are lacking.

The Good, The Bad, and The Unexpected: Roles of DUX4 in Health and Disease [PDF]
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Chew et al. (2019) show that the pioneer factor DUX4 is misexpressed in tumors, where it suppresses anti-tumor immune activity. Their findings provide a new mechanism for immune evasion in cancer and highlight the pathogenic effects of re-expressing an embryonic program in adult cells.

Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is most commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and caused by the abnormal expression of DUX4 in skeletal muscle.

Homologous Transcription Factors DUX4 and DUX4c Associate with Cytoplasmic Proteins during Muscle Differentiation. [PDF]
Hundreds of double homeobox (DUX) genes map within 3.3-kb repeated elements dispersed in the human genome and encode DNA-binding proteins. Among these, we identified DUX4, a potent transcription factor that causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy ...

EGR Proteins Mediate Interferon‐Independent Anti‐HSV‐1 Responses Through Viral and Host Targets
Early antiviral responses are typically mediated by interferons. However, during HSV‐1 infection, host early growth response (Egr) genes, which are not interferon‐stimulated genes, are quickly induced by viral protein ICP0. EGR proteins, in turn, suppress viral lytic infection by activating viral latency‐associated (LAT) and host immune regulatory ...

Comment on structural basis of DUX4/IGH-driven transactivation [PDF]
In a recent issue of Leukemia, Dong et al. reported the crystal structure of an isolated second homeodomain of human DUX4 (DUX4HD2) bound to a double-stranded DNA fragment (strand-1: 5’-TTCTAATCTAATCX-3’, X=A according to Materials and methods of the original paper[1], annealed with strand-2: 5’-AAGATTAGATTAGT-3’, whereas the sequence record of PDB ...

DUX4 is a transcription factor whose misexpression in skeletal muscle causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). DUX4’s transcriptional activity has been extensively characterized, but the DUX4-induced proteome remains undescribed.

Therapeutic Gene Editing: DNA Repair Pathways, Emerging Editors, and Clinical Progress
ABSTRACT The field of gene editing has evolved rapidly over the past decade, progressing from programmable zinc‐finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator‐like effector nucleases (TALENs) to the widespread adoption of CRISPR‐Cas systems. First‐generation editors catalyzed genome engineering by introducing targeted double‐strand breaks (DSBs ...

The DUX4-55aa protein expressed from mis-spliced DUX4 V5 mRNA does not activate apoptosis in vitro.
(A) Western blot confirms expression of DUX4.V5, DUX4-55aa, and DUX4.HOX1.V5 constructs in HEK293 cells transfected two days earlier. The DUX4-55aa construct lacked a V5 tag, and proteins were therefore detected using rabbit anti-DUX4 primary antibodies ...
