#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
Sox9 is an autosomal gene involved in several developmental processes, most notably bone formation. In the gonadal rudiments, Sox9 induces testis formation. Expression of the Sox9 gene is specifically upregulated by the combined expression of Sry and Sf1 proteins in Sertoli cell precursors. Thus, Sry may act merely as a “switch” operating during a very short time to activate Sox9, and the Sox9 protein may initiate the conserved evolutionary pathway to testis formation. Following statements are regarding to the functions of Sox9.
A. It appears to be able to activate its own promoter, thereby allowing it to be transcribed for long periods of time.
B. It activates the ability of β-catenin to induce ovary formation, either directly or indirectly.
C. It binds to cis-regulatory regions of numerous genes necessary for testis production.
D. Sox9 binds to the promoter site on the gene for anti-Müllerian hormone, providing a critical link in the pathway toward a male phenotype.
E. Sox9 inhibits the expression of the gene encoding Fgf9, a paracrine factor.
