Male-to-female sex reversal in horses is a developmental disorder in which phenotypic females have a male genetic constitution. Male-to-female sex reversal is the second most common genetic sex abnormality, after X chromosome monosomy. All male-to-female sex reversal cases studied to date have been found to be infertile. Therefore, a screening test is particularly useful in laboratories doing DNA genotyping in horses. Our laboratory has tested > 209,000 horses for parentage using a panel of microsatellite markers and the sex marker gene amelogenin ( AMEL). Suspect XY sex reversal cases are reported females with a male profile by AMEL testing. After routine genotyping, 49 cases were detected and further tested using the sex-determining region Y ( SRY) gene, confirming the XY SRY-negative genotype of suspect sex reversal cases. When some inconsistencies arose in the initial result, a molecular panel of X- and Y-linked markers was analyzed for these samples. Of the 49 cases, 33 were confirmed as XY SRY-negative. The remaining 16 cases were identified as false-positives as a result of anomalies of AMEL testing in horses.

Abstract The sex-determining region of the Y chromosome (SRY) plays a key role in human sex determination, as mutations in SRY can cause XY sex reversal. Although some SRY missense mutations affect DNA binding and bending activities, it is unclear how others contribute to disease. The high mobility group domain of SRY has two nuclear localization signals (NLS). Sex-reversing mutations in the NLSs affect nuclear import in some patients, associated with defective importin-β binding to the C-terminal NLS (c-NLS), whereas in others, importin-β recognition is normal, suggesting the existence of an importin-β-independent nuclear import pathway. The SRY N-terminal NLS (n-NLS) binds calmodulin (CaM) in vitro, and here we show that this protein interaction is reduced in vivo by calmidazolium, a CaM antagonist. In calmidazolium-treated cells, the dramatic reduction in nuclear entry of SRY and an SRY-c-NLS mutant was not observed for two SRY-n-NLS mutants. Fluorescence spectroscopy studies reveal an unusual conformation of SRY.CaM complexes formed by the two n-NLS mutants. Thus, CaM may be involved directly in SRY nuclear import during gonadal development, and disruption of SRY.CaM recognition could underlie XY sex reversal. Given that the CaM-binding region of SRY is well-conserved among high mobility group box proteins, CaM-dependent nuclear import may underlie additional disease states.

Xy Sex Reversal

15% of cases of human XY sex reversal are due to mutations in SRY (sex determining region on the Y chromosome), many of which map to one of SRY’s two independently acting nuclear localization signals (NLSs) flanking its DNA binding domain. The C-terminal NLS (C-NLS) targets SRY to the nucleus through a ‘conventional’ pathway dependent on the nuclear import receptor importin-β (Imp-β). No importin has been shown to bind the N-terminal NLS (N-NLS), but it is known to interact with the Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin (CaM). We examined seven distinct missense mutations in the SRY NLSs from XY sex-reversed human females for effects on nuclear import and ability to interact with CaM/Imp-β1. All mutations were found to result in reduced nuclear localization in transfected testicular cells compared to wild type. The CaM antagonist, calmidazolium chloride (CDZ), was found to significantly reduce SRY nuclear accumulation, indicating a dependence of SRY nuclear import on CaM. Intriguingly, N-NLS mutants were resistant to CDZ’s effects, implying a loss of interaction with CaM; this was confirmed directly by in vitro binding experiments using recombinantly expressed protein. Either impaired CaM or Imp-β1 binding can thus be the basis of sex-reversal in human patients. Our results implicate a CaM-dependent nuclear import pathway for SRY mediated by the N-NLS that, together with the C-NLS, is required to achieve threshold levels of SRY in the nucleus for male sex determination.
