Estabilidad del fenotipo "dos X activos" en las células somáticas triploides
Cell
|November 1, 1979
Resumen
Las células triploides con cariotipo XXY muestran una expresión estable del cromosoma X, manteniendo una proporción constante de isoenzima G6PD. Incluso después de la fusión celular o la transformación SV40, este fenotipo del cromosoma X se mantuvo estable.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Genética La genética.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Sus antecedentes:
- La inactivación del cromosoma X es un proceso clave en el desarrollo de los mamíferos.
- Comprender la estabilidad del cromosoma X es crucial para la investigación genética.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la estabilidad del fenotipo del cromosoma X en células triploides.
- Para determinar la influencia del complemento autosómico en la expresión del cromosoma X.
- Para analizar la actividad del cromosoma X en células híbridas y células transformadas SV40.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de las variantes electroforéticas de la glucosa 6 fosfato deshidrogenasa (G6PD) en las células triploides.
- Experimentos de fusión celular con fibroblastos diploides humanos.
- Creación de híbridos interespecíficos con fibroblastos de ratón.
- SV40 transformación de las células triploides y posterior análisis.
Principales resultados:
- Las células triploides XXY mantuvieron una proporción estable de 1:2:1 de isozimas G6PD (A:heteropolímero:B).
- Los experimentos de fusión celular e hibridación interespecífica confirmaron el mantenimiento de la actividad del cromosoma X.
- La transformación SV40 alteró los patrones de LDH y el número de cromosomas, pero no el fenotipo G6PD.
- No se observó desrepresión del cromosoma X inactivo en los experimentos de fusión.
Conclusiones:
- El fenotipo del cromosoma X es estable en células triploides bajo diversas condiciones experimentales.
- El complemento autosómico no parece alterar la estabilidad de la expresión del cromosoma X.
- La segregación de cromosomas o autosomas puede ocurrir en líneas celulares híbridas.

Crossing Over
Unlike mitosis, meiosis aims for genetic diversity in its creation of haploid gametes. Dividing germ cells first begin this process in prophase I, where each chromosome—replicated in S phase—is now composed of two sister chromatids (identical copies) joined centrally.
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process called synapsis.

X-Inactivation
The human X chromosome contains over ten times the number of genes as in the Y chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome, and females have two, one might expect females to produce twice as many of the proteins, with undesirable results.
Inheritance of Chromatin Structures
Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in a cell's phenotype without changing the DNA sequences. It provides a form of memory for the differential gene expression pattern to maintain cell lineage, position-effect variegation, dosage compensation, and maintenance of chromatin structures such as telomeres and centromeres. For example, the structure and location of the centromere on chromosomes are epigenetically inherited. Its functionality is not dictated or ensured by the underlying DNA...
The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female Drosophila...

Dosage Compensation
In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with distinct numbers of X chromosomes will have...
