 SRY - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Individuals with a male phenotype and an XX (female) genotype have been observed; these males have the SRY gene in one or both X chromosomes, moved there by chromosomal translocation.
Mice with a XX genotype but with an SRY gene on one of their X chromosomes have been engineered; these mice are phenotypically male.
Athletes with a SRY gene were not permitted to participate as females, although all athletes in whom this was "detected" at the 1996 Summer Olympics were ruled false positives and were not disqualified.

 BioMed Central | Full text | A del(X)(p11) carrying SRYsequences in an infant with ambiguous genitalia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
SRY (sex-determining region, Y) is the gene responsible of gonadal differentiation in the male and it is essential for the regular development of male genitalia.
The SRY (sex-determining region Y), which is normally located in the distal part of the short arm of the Y chromosome is a genetic 'master switch' of gonadal differentiation [1], the product of which is present in the male genital ridge before testis formation and is required for the regular development of male genitalia [2].
SRY encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the high mobility group (HMG)-box family of DNA binding proteins and in mammals triggers the development of undifferentiated gonads towards a testicular phenotype [1,3].

 XX Male
SRY is the candidate gene for the testis determination.
It is possible that in the present case XX male (SRY negative) may have a recessive mutation in the Z locus, so that it cannot switch off the male determining genes [11] and therefore the present case has normal male phenotypes and testicular development.
Inspite of the fact that SRY is the testis determining factor (TDF), it is likely that other genes are also involved in pathway of sex determination and differentiation process as both upstream and downstream regulator genes.

 The Rockefeller University - Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics
The laboratory chose to study the closely related HMG family member SRY because of the role of SRY protein in determining male sex in humans.
The principle discovery of the study of the HMG-domain of SRY bound to DNA was the presence of a novel mode of protein-induced distortion of DNA structure via protein sidechain intercalation.
Thus, SRY and Lef-1 act as architectural elements in the enhancer, creating the structural environment in which other proteins may interact with one another; for example, the ETS1 and ATF/CREB proteins bind at sites located 70 basepairs apart, yet interact with one another in the complex in the presence of Lef-1.

 Rediscovering Biology - Online Textbook: Unit 11 Sex and Gender
Introduction of the mouse SRY gene into an XX mouse causes the formation of testis and the animal develops as a male anatomically; however, it does not produce sperm.
Thus, SRY is the testis-determining factor, and is the only gene on the Y chromosome that is essential for development of male genitalia.
Without SRY to stimulate testis development, the gonad becomes an ovary and the embryo develops into a female; the development pathways of both male and female are complex, however, and are regulated by several gene products (Fig.

 Two genes -- Dax 1 and Sry -- required for testis formation
Dax1 had been widely accepted as an “anti-testis” or ovary-determining gene because patients with a duplication or “double dose” of Dax1 had features of XY sex reversal, a condition in which individuals have the chromosomes of males but the physical attributes of females.
Because most XY females do not have Sry mutations, Joshua J. Meeks, Jeffrey Weiss, and J. Larry Jameson, M.D., of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, hypothesized that other genes are necessary for testis determination.
Expression of the Sry gene was similar in Dax1-deleted mice and in those in which Dax1 was normal, indicating that sex reversal is not caused by reduced Sry levels in Dax1-deleted mice.
