X chromosome dosage
How to create equal amount of X chromosome gene products in males and females?
Shouldn’t XX females produce twice the amount of X-linked gene products (proteins) as XY males?
Sex Chromosomes: females XX, males XYGenes on X: females 2 , males 1

Dosage Compensation
XX females “compensate” by inactivating one of their X chromosomes to make a single “dosage” of X-linked genes.
decrease X gene products by half in females(e.g. humans called X-inactivation)

In normal females, only one of the two X chromosomes is genetically active
X chromosome inactivation occurs early in development (late blastocyst stage of embryogenesis, 32-64 cell stage).
The Lyon Hypothesis of X Inactivation
Proposed by Mary Lyon and Liane Russell (1961)
![Page 19: Chromosomal Polymorphism - Shandong Universitycourse.sdu.edu.cn/.../20120413111546_993098916042.pdf · 2012. 4. 13. · of sex-reversed individuals and “chromosome walking” to](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060812/6090326d260a645f2d2aff18/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
X inactivation is random.The inactive X can either be maternal orpaternal in origin and the choice is random ineach cell and independent of the choice inother embryonic cells.
X inactivation is irreversible in somaticcells - the inactive X in a particular cellremains inactive in all descendents ofthat cell.

•although X inactivation is usually random, a structurally abnormal X, e.g., an X chromosome bearing a deletion, is preferentially inactivated;
•in individuals with X-autosome translocations, it is usually the normal X chromosome that is preferentially inactivated;

although X inactivation is extensive, it is not complete, some genes are known to escape inactivation;
while x inactivation is permanent in most somatic cells, it must be reversible in the development of germ cells.

Possible Mechanism
autosomally-encoded 'blocking factor' which binds to the X chromosome and prevents its inactivation
Sequences at the X inactivation center (XIC), binding to the “blocking factor”, control the silencing of the X chromosome

In 1990, Sinclair and colleagues narrowed the region to a 35,000 base-pair domain of the small arm of the Y chromosome.

Sex determining region YGene symbol : SRY Location : Yp11.3
SRY encodes a 223 amino acid zinc finger transcription factor that is a member of the high mobility group (HMG)-box family of DNA binding proteins. The protein is expressed during testis development for only 2 days.

Sequencing revealed a conserved motif that could have DNA-binding function
SRY = TDF XY sex-reversed females have deletions or
mutations of SRY transgenic mouse model - XX + Sry leads to
testis development SRY expressed in gonad, but only transiently,
at the onset of differentiation

SRY gene on the Y chromosome was identified as the gene that codes for TDF:
SRY is translocated to X in rare XX males
SRY is absent from Y in rare XY females
The “home run” experiment by Koopman et al. used transgenic mice.

Sexual development
An embryo develops as a male or female using information from the Y chromosome.
At the beginning of human development either male or female development is possible.
Unspecialized gonads and two sets of reproductive ducts exist until week 6.

Other sex determination genes
Puzzling XY sex-reversed females without detectable mutation in SRY
SRY gene acts as a repressor or inhibitor of another gene, “Z”, that is involved in female development ?

DAX1 - on X, exerting its effects early on in development, can suppress testis-formation in a dosage-sensitive manner
SOX9 - on 17q, required with SRY for normal testis formation. Mutations in this gene cause campomelic dysplasia, which occurs in many sex reversed males
