In mammals, dosage compensation of genes on the X chromosome occurs by X inactivation, which is regulated in cis by the X-inactivation center (XIC) and expression of the XIST non-coding RNA. This gene expresses a non-coding antisense transcript across the 3' end of the XIST locus, and is coexpressed with XIST only from the inactive X chromosome. The mouse ortholog of this locus is required for imprinted X inactivation in extraembryonic tissues and silences Xist through modification of the chromatin structure in the Xist promoter region. In contrast, imprinted X inactivation does not occur in human extraembryonic tissues and transcripts from this locus do not repress XIST expression or affect random X chromosome inactivation in embryonic cells. This transcript is thought to be unspliced and extend over more than 30 kb, but its exact nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
在哺乳动物中,在X染色体上的基因的剂量补偿由X染色体失活,这是在顺式由X染色体失活中心(XIC)和表达的XIST非编码RNA的调节发生。该基因表达横跨XIST轨迹的3‘端的非编码的反义转录物,并且共表达与只从失活的X染色体XIST。该位点的小鼠直向同源物时需要在胚外组织印迹X染色体失活,并通过在Xist基因启动子区的染色质结构的修饰沉默Xist的。相比之下,印X染色体失活并没有在人类胚外组织和成绩单从这个位点发生不压制XIST表达或胚胎细胞影响的随机X染色体失活。这份成绩单被认为是未拼接并延伸超过30 KB,但其确切性质尚未确定。 [由RefSeq的,2008年7月提供]
