[C.elegansII] y9 : XO animals die as embryos or small crumpled feminized L1 larvae with disorganized cellular structures; XX animals viable, apparently WT hermaphrodites. Also enhances XX pseudomale phenotype of tra-2, tra-3, her-1(gf), to fertile mating male phenotype. 35-50 kb deletion null.OA>10: y70, y95, y138 (nonsense), mn467 (XOlethal but no XX Tra enhancement), e2533, e2583 etc. Cloned: multiple transcripts (1.5, 2.2, 2.5 kb) present 10x higher in XO than XX embryo; encode novel predicted proteins with 3 different C-termini; 2.2 kb transcript necessary and sufficient for xol-1 activity.Transgene overexpression leads to XX lethality.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionxol-1 encodes an acidic protein structurally related to members of the GHMP(galactokinase, homoserine kinase, mevalonate kinase, and phosphomevalonate kinase) family of small molecule metabolic kinases; during early development, xol-1, the master sex-determination switch gene that is a direct molecular target of the X chromosome to autosome signal, functions to specify male sexual fate and the activation state of the dosage compensation machinery (inactive in males); in XX hermaphrodites, xol-1 expression is repressed, while in males, xol-1 expression is elevated; the T-box transcription factor SEA-1 positively regulates xol-1 transcription, while the CEH-39 ONECUT homeodomain protein and SEX-1 nuclear receptor repress xol-1 transcription; two 10-bp motifs shown to be strong binding locations of two components of the dosage compensation machinery, DPY-27 and SDC-3, are found upstream of xol-1; xol-1 expression is also regulated on the posttranscriptional level by the RNA-binding protein FOX-1, which inhibits splicing of the last intron in the xol-1 pre-mRNA.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001077
