Evidence for a dosage effect at the X-linked steroid sulfatase locus in human tissues. 1983

P F Chance, and S M Gartler

Steroid sulfatase (STS) is an X-linked enzyme whose locus escapes X inactivation in human somatic cells. STS activity was determined in human fibroblasts varying in X-chromosome number from one to four. Greater STS activity was detected in 2X cell strains when compared to 1X cell strains; however, increased STS activity was not found in 3 and 4X strains as compared with the 2X strains. Greater STS activity was also observed in female hair follicles when compared with male hair follicles. These data provide evidence of a gene dosage effect at the STS locus in human tissues.

D004303 Dosage Compensation, Genetic Genetic mechanisms that allow GENES to be expressed at a similar level irrespective of their GENE DOSAGE. This term is usually used in discussing genes that lie on the SEX CHROMOSOMES. Because the sex chromosomes are only partially homologous, there is a different copy number, i.e., dosage, of these genes in males vs. females. In DROSOPHILA, dosage compensation is accomplished by hypertranscription of genes located on the X CHROMOSOME. In mammals, dosage compensation of X chromosome genes is accomplished by random X CHROMOSOME INACTIVATION of one of the two X chromosomes in the female.
