DUX4 is a transcription factor and a master regulator of embryonic genome activation (EGA). During early embryogenesis, EGA is crucial for maternal to zygotic transition at the 8-cell stage in order to overcome silencing of genes and enable transcription from the zygotic genome. In adult somatic cells, DUX4 expression is largely silenced. Activation is likely pathogenic, and in adult muscle cells causes genetic disorder Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD).We identified activation of DUX4 expression upon lytic replication of the herpesviruses HSV-1, HCMV, EBV and KSHV, but not of adenoviruses, negative strand RNA viruses or positive strand RNA viruses. We demonstrate by RNA-Seq analysis that DUX4 expression upon herpesviral replication leads to the induction of hundreds of DUX4 target genes including germline-specific retroelements as well as several members of the TRIM, PRAMEF and ZSCAN protein families. Moreover, we show that DUX4 expression is a direct consequence of herpesviral infection. DUX4 can be stimulated by overexpression of HSV-1 immediate early proteins, indicating active induction of EGA genes by herpesviral infection. We further show that DUX4 expression is critical for driving HSV-1 gene expression.Our results show that viruses from alpha-, beta- and gamma-herpesvirus subfamilies induce DUX4 expression and downstream germline-specific genes and retroelements. We hypothesize that herpesviruses induce DUX4 expression in order to induce an early embryonic-like transcriptional program that prevents epigenetic silencing of the viral genome and facilitates herpesviral gene expression.
