Epigenetic Gene Silencing by the SRY Protein Is Mediated by a KRAB-O Protein That Recruits the KAP1 Co-repressor Machinery
23 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
The sex determination transcription factor SRY is a cell fate-determining transcription factor that mediates testis differentiation during embryogenesis. It may function by repressing the ovarian determinant gene, RSPO1, action in the ovarian developmental pathway and activates genes, such as SOX9, important for testis differentiation at the onset of gonadogenesis. Further, altered expression of SRY and related...
