Definitions

  • the present invention relates to proteins, polypeptides, nucleic acid fragments, antibodies and related products and to their use in medicine and agriculture, for instance in diagnosis and therapy. More particularly the invention relates to a gene which controls the sex of the embryos of eutherian (placental) mammals and to associated products and their use in ascertaining the sex of cells, embryos and tissues and controlling the sex of the progeny of
  • ZFX a homologue of ZFY. is present on the eutherian X chromosome and escapes
  • Fig. 9. is a diagram of the probe pY53.3 (2.1 kb) subclone.
  • characteristic residue or residues, and/or the fragments will be hybridisable with a Y-chromosome specific sequence associated with the TDF-gene preferably under conditions which substantially prevent hybridisation with any
  • Oligonucleotides containing the mt-box or a part thereof according to the present invention may contain codons specifying one or more of the characteristic amino acid residues discussed above together with neighbouring
  • Antibodies against such proteins and fragments and polypeptides as well as fragments of such antibodies including chemically derived and recombinant fragments of such antibodies, and cells, such as eukaryotic cells, for instance hybridomas and prokaryotic recombinant cells, capable of expressing and, preferably, secreting antibodies or fragments thereof against such proteins or fragments, also form part of the present invention.
  • the nucleic acids of the invention may be obtained by conventional means such as by recovery from organisms using PCR technology or hybridisation probes, by de novo
  • Antibodies may be obtained by immunisation of a suitable host animal and recovery of the antibodies, by culture of antibody-producing cells obtained from suitably immunised host animals or by in vitro stimulation of B-cells with a suitable mt-protein, fragment or polypeptide or mt-mimetope, protein, fragment or polypeptide and culture of the cells. Such cells may be immortalised as necessary for instance by fusion with myeloma cells. Antibody fragments may be obtained by well known chemical and biotechnological methods.
  • eutherian mammal such as a bovine.
  • the thus-identified sequence can then be used to generate primers for PCR which in turn can be used to ascertain the sex of an individual or of cells, tissues, embryos or sperm of the bovine or other mammal. This will permit experiments to ascertain sex to be conducted and controlled sex breeding of the bovine or other mammal as described below.
  • constructs may be used to obtain animals homozygous for one or the other.
  • pY53.3 detected Y- specific fragments (+). All of the probes except pYH8 hybridised to sequences in the XX males. pY4.1B which was positive with the XX males and the probe pYH8 which was negative.
  • the third Y-specific probe, pYRO.4 is derived from sequences lying between pY4-1B and pYH8, and appears to define the break points in the XX males.
  • Fig. 14 shows a comparison of the mouse and human Y-linked nucleotide sequences over 471-bp, in which the degree of homology is 62%.
  • the library was plated using DL652, a bacterial strain that stabilises end to end repeats to overcome problems in cloning the mouse Y
  • Sry-specific oligonucleotide primers (5' - 3') CTGTGTAAGATCTTCAATC and GTGGTGAGAGGCACAAGT and included Hprt primers as a control for the quality and quantity of RNA in each sample.
  • the upper panel shows an ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel with 148 bp PCR products corresponding to Sry transcripts in adult testis and, less intensely, genital ridge (GR) of 11.5 d.p.c. male embryos. The band was absent from adult male liver and 11.5 d.p.c. female genital ridge samples.
  • Sry primers were derived from a single exon and are
  • the conserved protein domain in Sry is homologous to known DNA-binding proteins and, by analogy, the Sry protein could be a nuclear protein that binds DNA and acts as a
  • testis determining gene will play a central role even in those species which do not use a XX/XY chromosome-based system for sex determination.
  • testis determining gene will be a target for experiments to ascertain the sex of cells, tissues, embryos, foetuses, sperm and individuals and to control the sex ratio of the progeny of breeding animals.
  • SRY (or Sry in mice) in the process of testis determination. It satisfies all predictions that can be made concerning the location of the testis determining gene on the Y chromosome.
  • the gene maps to the smallest region of the human and mouse Y chromosomes known to be male determining, and is conserved on the Y chromosome of all other eutherian mammals tested.
  • the gene encodes a putative DNA binding protein, consistent with a regulatory role.
  • Sry also shows a pattern of expression in the mouse entirely consistent with a role in testis determination, being expressed for a short period just prior to overt testis differentiation, specifically in somatic cells of the genital ridge.
  • SRY or Sry containing fragments were isolated from cosmid, phage or plasmid clones by digestion with appropriate restriction enzymes and then purified from other fragments and vector sequences by agarose gel electrophoresis.
  • the isolated DNA fragments were cleaned either by "gene clean” according to manufacturers instructions, or by phenol extraction and by passing down a sephadex G50 column, or an elutip, followed by ethanol precipitation.
  • testis cords Sex reversal of transgenic mouse embryos Fertilised eggs were microinjected with Sry gene sequences, transferred to pseudopregnant recipients, and a proportion of the resulting embryos were analysed at 14 days post transfer, rather than allowing them all to develop to term.
  • the first visible sign of testis development from the genital ridge is the formation of testis cords at about 12.4 dpc in the mouse. This is due to the differentiation of Sertoli cells and their alignment into the epithelial structures surrounding the germ cells [Jost, A. & Marge, S. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond.. 322. 55-61 (1988)].
  • Cord formation confers a characteristic striped appearance to the developing testis, distinguishing it from the fetal ovary. Other morphological changes characteristic of the testis are its rapid growth and prominent vasculature.
  • kb The conserved Sry/SRY open reading frame is indicated by a shaded box. The direction of the open reading frame is shown above the two clones. The position of the human pseudoautosomal boundary is indicated by an arrow, the pseudoautosomal region being to the right of this point.
  • the positions of oligonucleotide primers used for PCR analysis are indicated by triangles.
  • m33.13 has a testis weight of 17mg (in the range expected for an XX Sxr' male), as opposed to 76 mg for an XY littermate.
  • the testes were processed for histology and sections revealed the presence of tubules, with clearly defined and apparently normal populations of Leydig cells, peritubular myoid cells and Sertoli cells, but a complete absence of cells undergoing spermatogensis (Fig. 25c).
  • mice A further two XX transgenics, m32.10 and m33.2, showed an external female phenotype, yet both carried multiple copies of Sry. These mice have produced offspring indicating that they have functional reproductive tract and ovaries. These animals provide further evidence, along with the transgenic XX female fetuses described above, that f741 does not always cause sex reversal. While it is
