[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SRY_HUMAN SRY_HUMAN] Defects in SRY are the cause of 46,XY sex reversal type 1 (SRXY1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/400044 400044]. A condition characterized by male-to-female sex reversal in the presence of a normal 46,XY karyotype. Patients manifest rapid and early degeneration of their gonads, which are present in the adult as 'streak gonads', consisting mainly of fibrous tissue and variable amounts of ovarian stroma. As a result these patients do not develop secondary sexual characteristics at puberty. The external genitalia in these subjects are completely female, and Muellerian structures are normal.<ref>PMID:11563911</ref> <ref>PMID:2247149</ref> <ref>PMID:8353496</ref> <ref>PMID:1570829</ref> <ref>PMID:1415266</ref> <ref>PMID:1339396</ref> <ref>PMID:8447323</ref> <ref>PMID:1483689</ref> <ref>PMID:8105086</ref> <ref>PMID:8019555</ref> <ref>PMID:7985018</ref> <ref>PMID:7717397</ref> <ref>PMID:7776083</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:9678356</ref> <ref>PMID:9521592</ref> <ref>PMID:9450909</ref> <ref>PMID:10670762</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:10852465</ref> <ref>PMID:10843173</ref> <ref>PMID:10721678</ref> <ref>PMID:12107262</ref> <ref>PMID:12793612</ref> <ref>PMID:17063144</ref>   Note=A 45,X chromosomal aberration involving SRY is found in Turner syndrome, a disease characterized by gonadal dysgenesis with short stature, "streak gonads", variable abnormalities such as webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, cardiac defects, low posterior hair line. The phenotype is female.  Defects in SRY are the cause of 46,XX sex reversal type 1 (SRXX1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/400045 400045]. A condition in which male gonads develop in a genetic female (female to male sex reversal).<ref>PMID:9652903</ref> <ref>PMID:10602113</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SRY_HUMAN SRY_HUMAN] Transcriptional regulator that controls a genetic switch in male development. It is necessary and sufficient for initiating male sex determination by directing the development of supporting cell precursors (pre-Sertoli cells) as Sertoli rather than granulosa cells (By similarity). In male adult brain involved in the maintenance of motor functions of dopaminergic neurons (By similarity). Involved in different aspects of gene regulation including promoter activation or repression (By similarity). Promotes DNA bending. SRY HMG box recognizes DNA by partial intercalation in the minor groove. Also involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-[AT]AACAA[AT]-3'.<ref>PMID:11818535</ref> <ref>PMID:15170344</ref> <ref>PMID:16762365</ref> <ref>PMID:11563911</ref> [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HMGB1_RAT HMGB1_RAT] DNA binding proteins that associates with chromatin and has the ability to bend DNA. Binds preferentially single-stranded DNA. Involved in V(D)J recombination by acting as a cofactor of the RAG complex. Acts by stimulating cleavage and RAG protein binding at the 23 bp spacer of conserved recombination signal sequences (RSS). Heparin-binding protein that has a role in the extension of neurite-type cytoplasmic processes in developing cells (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The high-mobility group protein HMGB1 contains two tandem DNA-binding HMG box domains, A and B, linked by a short flexible linker that allows the two domains to behave independently in the free protein. There is no structural information on how the linked domains and linker behave when bound to DNA, mainly due to the lack of any DNA-sequence preference of HMGB1. We report the structure determination, by NMR spectroscopy, of a well-defined complex of two tandem HMG boxes bound to a 16 bp oligonucleotide. The protein is an engineered version of the AB di-domain of HMGB1, in which the A box has been replaced by the HMG box of the sequence-specific transcription factor SRY, to give SRY.B. In the SRY.B/DNA complex, both HMG boxes bind in the minor groove and contribute to the overall DNA bending by intercalation of bulky hydrophobic residues between base-pairs; the bends reinforce each other, and the basic linker lies partly in the minor groove. As well as being the first structure of an HMG-box di-domain bound to DNA, this provides the first structure of the B domain of HMGB1 bound to DNA.
