哺乳动物睾丸决定的诱导一般依赖于Sry基因,然而棕色田鼠指名亚种的Sry基因已经丢失,而棕色田鼠指名亚种雌雄个体依然有繁殖能力。我们在研究涉及性别决定的一些基因时,发现R-spondin1与性别决定有关。为了探讨R-spondin1在棕色田鼠中的性别决定中的作用,我们用RT-PCR检测R-spondin1在棕色田鼠性腺中的表达。研究结果表明R-spondin1仅在出生后不久的棕色田鼠指名亚种雌性个体的卵巢中表达,在出生后的棕色田鼠指名亚种雄性个体睾丸中未见其表达,这说明R-spondin1可能在棕色田鼠指名亚种卵巢发育中具有某种角色。  相似文献

SOX、DMRT性别决定基因家族及其应用研究进展   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
SOX基因家族是在动物中发现的一类新的编码转录因子的基因家族,其产物具有一个HMG基序保守区,参与诸如性别决定等多种早期胚胎发育过程。到目前为止,在XXXY染色体性别决定系统中,只发现了两个性别决定基因:一个是SRY,它主要在哺乳动物性别决定中起作用;一个是DMY,它是在青鳉(Oryziaslatipes)中发现的。SRY属于SOX基因家族,而DMY则属于另一个普遍参与脊椎动物性别决定过程的DMTR基因家族。本文综述了这两大性别决定基因的研究进展,并探讨了它们在水产养殖动物性别决定基因研究中的意义和价值。  相似文献

在哺乳动物中,Y染色体决定着雄性性别,这是由于在其短臂上存在一个编码睾丸决定因子 (TDF) 的基因。1990年,人们克隆了睾丸决定因子基因并命名为SRY。序列分析表明SRY基因中存在一个保守区,与染色体高迁移率组 (HMG) 蛋白质上的DNA结合结构域具有一定的相似性。基于HMG基序的保守性人们发现了一个新的基因家族Sox基因家族。凡是在HMG区域与SRY基因具有50%以上相似性的基因被称为Sox基因。Sox基因在早期胚胎发育过程中参与多种发育途径,具有重要的作用。参与诸如性别决定、骨组织的发育、血细胞生成过程、神经系统的发育、晶状体的发育等多种早期胚胎发育过程。 虎(Panthera tigris)作为世界上最濒危的兽类之一,东北虎(Panthera tigris altaica Temminck)是其中的一个亚种,被列为一类珍稀动物。本文对其发育基因家族—SOX基因进行了研究。 利用肌肉组织为材料制备基因组DNA, 应用特异于HMG-box区域的兼并引物, 扩增了东北虎的SOX基因。在扩增产物中发现一条220bp的扩增带。经过克隆与序列测定和同源性检索,发现5个基因片段(Fig.1&2)。其与人SRY基因的相似性分别为75%、56%、51%、67% 和48%;与小鼠Sry基因的相似性分别为73%、54%、57%、66% 和 48% (Table 1)。因此这5个DNA片段为东北虎的5个Sox基因片  相似文献

Sex determination in mammals is controlled by SRY (sex-determining region of the Y chromosome), a single-copy gene located on the Y-specific region. Several exceptions to this rule have been described: some rodent species present Y-specific multiple copies (either mono- or polymorphic) of this gene, and two Ellobius species and one Tokudaia species determine sex without a Y chromosome or the SRY gene. Recently, we have described multiple polymorphic copies of the SRY gene in both males and females of the vole species Microtus cabrerae. The female location and the presence of stop codons in some copies from males and females also suggest that they are nonfunctional copies of this gene (pseudogenes). We have investigated the SRY HMG-box in nine species of the family Microtidae; we report here the presence, in eight of these species, of multiple mono- or polymorphic copies of the SRY gene located on the Y chromosome.  相似文献

Sex determination in vertebrates is accomplished through a highly conserved genetic pathway. But surprisingly, the downstream events may be activated by a variety of triggers, including sex determining genes and environmental cues. Amongst species with genetic sex determination, the sex determining gene is anything but conserved, and the chromosomes that bear this master switch subscribe to special rules of evolution and function. In mammals, with a few notable exceptions, female are homogametic (XX) and males have a single X and a small, heterochromatic and gene poor Y that bears a male dominant sex determining gene SRY. The bird sex chromosome system is the converse in that females are the heterogametic sex (ZW) and males the homogametic sex (ZZ). There is no SRY in birds, and the dosage-sensitive Z-borne DMRT1 gene is a credible candidate sex determining gene. Different sex determining switches seem therefore to have evolved independently in different lineages, although the complex sex chromosomes of the platypus offer us tantalizing clues that the mammal XY system may have evolved directly from an ancient reptile ZW system. In this review we will discuss the organization and evolution of the sex chromosomes across a broad range of mammals, and speculate on how the Y chromosome, and SRY, evolved.  相似文献

In the rodent species Microtus cabrerae, males as well as females present several copies of the SRY gene, a single-copy gene located on the Y chromosome in most mammals. Using different PCR approaches, we have characterized the sequence, structure, and organization of the SRY copies and their flanking regions distributed on the X and Y chromosomes of this species. All copies of SRY analyzed, including those from the Y chromosome, proved to be nonfunctional pseudogenes, as they have internal stop codons. In addition, we demonstrated the association of SRY pseudogenes with different fragments of L1 and LTR retroelements in both sex chromosomes of M. cabrerae. Examining the possible origin of SRY pseudogene and retroposons association, we propose that retroposons could have been involved in the mechanism of SRY gene amplification on the Y chromosome and in the transference of the Y-linked SRY copies to the X-chromosome heterochromatin.  相似文献

Since the discovery of SRY/SRY as a testis-determining gene on the mammalian Y chromosome in 1990, extensive studies have been carried out on the immediate target of SRY/SRY and genes functioning in the course of testis development. Comparative studies in non-mammalian vertebrates including birds have failed to find a gene equivalent to SRY/SRY, whereas they have suggested that most of the downstream factors found in mammals including SOX9 are also involved in the process of gonadal differentiation. Although a gene whose function is to trigger the cascade of gene expression toward gonadal differentiation has not been identified yet on either W or Z chromosomes of birds, a few interesting genes have been found recently on the sex chromosomes of chickens and their possible roles in sex determination or sex differentiation are being investigated. It is the purpose of this review to summarize the present knowledge of these sex chromosome-linked genes in chickens and to give perspectives and point out questions concerning the mechanisms of avian sex determination.  相似文献

Sex Determination in Reptiles: An Update   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Sex determination and sex differentiation are two separate butrelated phenomena. Sex differentiation is a programmed cascadeof events in which the indifferent gonad develops as a testisor an ovary with the appropriate urogenital and secondary sexcharacters. Sex determination is the event that sets this cascadein motion. In placental mammals, there is good evidence thatsex is determined by a gene on the Y chromosome (SRY) that initiatestestis formation. In the absence of SRY an ovary develops. Thereare, however, examples of placental mammal that develop as normalmales with no detectable SRY. In reptiles, sex differentiationappears to be similar to mammals (i.e., the same genes and hormonesact ina similar manner), but sex determination is clearly verydifferent. Ovarian differentiation in placental mammals canoccur in the absence of estrogen or an estrogen receptor. Ovariandifferentiation in reptiles requires the presence of estrogen.In the absence of estrogen a testis develops. In TSD reptiles,embryos will develop as females when treated with estrogen evenif eggs are incubated at male-inducing temperatures, and conversely,will develop as males when estrogen synthesis is blocked ineggs incubated at female-inducing temperatures. A number ofother genes have also been shown to be important in mammaliansex determination. One of these genes, Sox9, which is expressedin differentiating mouse testis, has recently been found tobe expressed in embryonic reptile testis. Other genes that appearto be common to both mammals and reptiles in the sex determiningcascade are SF- 1, MIH, and possibly DAX-1. Current researchis now focused on how the gene that produces the enzyme necessaryfor estrogen synthesis (aromatase) is regulated in the embryosof reptiles with genetic or environmental sex determination.Controversial issues in reptilian sex determination are 1) therole of the brain in gonadal sex determination, and 2) the roleof steroid hormones in the yolk prior to sex determination  相似文献

Sex determination in mammals is controlled by the Y chromosome located SRY gene. Despite recent advances towards understanding the mechanisms that regulate sex determination in mammals, the expression profile of the SRY protein in human tissues is unknown. To localize the SRY protein and determine its cellular distribution, we prepared monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against the recombinant SRY protein. One antibody, LSRY1.1, recognizes a SRY-specific epitope and was used to localize the protein in different cells and tissues. The mAb recognizes a protein of 27 kDa in total lysates of HeLa SRYB3 cells. Immunocytochemical staining showed a nuclear localization of the protein. Immunohistochemical studies performed on gonadal tissue of a fetus, a one month-old boy and an adult man, demonstrated the presence of SRY protein in the nucleus of Sertoli and germ cells. In addition two 46,XX SRY(+) males had the SRY protein in their gonadal tissues. All other samples were negative, including all female tissue studied and the testis of a 46,XX SRY(-) male. The presence of SRY protein in fetal and adult gonadal tissues including germ cells suggests that SRY may have other male-specific functions in addition to sex determinism.  相似文献

培养温度是花药培养的一个十分重要的条 件。但是有关这方面研究的报道是不多的。特 别是早期的一些报道,不但内容比较简单,而且 试验的温度范围都在28℃ 以下[7-9.14.16]近年 来甘肃农科院等一些单位开始试验用高温培 养,得到良好的效果[4.5.10.15不过陈英等在水 稻上初步看到在高温培养下花粉愈伤组织的诱 导率虽然提高,但愈伤组织的分化能力有降低 的趋势,特别是当愈伤组织转分化培养基的时 间偏晚时更是如此[5]。我们过去在小麦上也见 到过类似现象[1]。因此近年来我们探索了在高 温下诱导的小麦花粉愈伤组织的分化能力的保 持间题。但在这一研究中又看到不同基因型对 培养温度有不同的反应,从而又就这种对培养 温度反应的基因型差异做了初步的遗传学分 析。本文先报道关于基因型差异方面的结果。 其他结果将另文报道。  相似文献
