Linkage of the steroid sulfatase gene to the sex-reversed mutation in the mouse. 1987

E A Keitges, and D F Schorderet, and S M Gartler

Dosage studies and the inheritance pattern of the gene for steroid sulfatase (Sts) in the mouse have previously provided indirect evidence for a functional Y-linked allele which recombines obligatorily with its X-linked allele in male meiosis. In this study, we have investigated the linkage relationship of Sts and the sex-reversed mutation (Sxr), a gene which is known to reside in the pairing region of the Y chromosome. The results clearly demonstrate that Sxr and Sts are linked in a region of obligatory recombination and Sts maps proximal to Sxr with most recombinants occurring proximal to the two genes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012730 Sex Chromosomes The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.
