A comparison of the properties of Sox-3 with Sry and two related genes, Sox-1 and Sox-2
Abstract
The Sox gene family consists of a large number of embryonically expressed genes related via the possession of a 79-amino-acid DNA-binding domain known as the HMG box. Partial clones for the first three Sox genes (a1-a3) were isolated by homology to the HMG box of the testis-determining gene Sry and are now termed Sox-1, Sox-2 and Sox-3. Sox-3 is highly conserved amongst mammalian species and is located on the X chromosome. This has led to the proposal that Sry evolved from Sox-3. We present the cloning and sequencing of Sox-1, Sox-2 and Sox-3 from the mouse and show that Sox-3 is most closely related to Sry. We also confirm that mouse Sox-3 is located on the X chromosome between Hprt and Dmd. Analysis of the distribution of Sox-3 RNA shows that its main site of expression is in the developing central nervous system, suggesting a role for Sox-3 in neural development. Moreover, we demonstrate that Sox-3, as well as Sox-1 and Sox-2, are expressed in the urogenital ridge and that their protein products are able to bind the same DNA sequence motif as Sry in vitro, but with different affinities. These observations prompt discussion of an evolutionary link between the genes and support the model that Sry has evolved from Sox-3. However our findings imply that if this is true, then Sry has undergone concomitant changes resulting in loss of CNS expression and altered DNA-binding properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
