Inherited Human Sex Reversal due to Loss of a Water-Mediated Hydrogen Bond at a Conserved Protein-DNA Interface
2021-05-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Male sex determination in mammals is initiated by SRY, a Y-encoded architectural transcription factor. The protein contains a high-mobility-group (HMG) box that mediates sequence-specific DNA bending. Mutations in SRY causing XY gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome) cluster in the box. Although such mutations usually arise de novo in spermatogenesis, some are inherited: male development occurs in...
