50-526: A Y chromosome , which he received from his father. The male counts as the "origin" of his own X chromosome ( F 1 = 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}=1} ), and at his parents' generation, his X chromosome came from a single parent ( F 2 = 1 {\displaystyle F_{2}=1} ). The male's mother received one X chromosome from her mother (the son's maternal grandmother), and one from her father (the son's maternal grandfather), so two grandparents contributed to

75-434: A lower bound on the total number of human protein-coding genes. The following is a partial list of genes on human chromosome X. For complete list, see the link in the infobox on the right. It is theorized by Ross et al. 2005 and Ohno 1967 that the X chromosome is at least partially derived from the autosomal (non-sex-related) genome of other mammals, evidenced from interspecies genomic sequence alignments. The X chromosome

100-456: A small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the S39E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm . In rat, the protein is the smallest, and one of the most basic, proteins of

125-491: Is carried by the mother on the x-cell. It affects only boys between the ages of 5 and 10 and destroys the protective cell surrounding the nerves, myelin , in the brain. The female carrier hardly shows any symptoms because females have a copy of the x-cell. This disorder causes a once healthy boy to lose all abilities to walk, talk, see, hear, and even swallow. Within 2 years after diagnosis, most boys with Adrenoleukodystrophy die. [REDACTED] In July 2020 scientists reported

Ribosomes , the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis , consist of

175-408: Is estimated that about 10% of the genes encoded by the X chromosome are associated with a family of "CT" genes, so named because they encode for markers found in both tumor cells (in cancer patients) as well as in the human testis (in healthy patients). Klinefelter syndrome : Trisomy X Turner syndrome : Sex linkage was first discovered in insects, e.g., T. H. Morgan 's 1910 discovery of

200-475: Is notably larger and has a more active euchromatin region than its Y chromosome counterpart. Further comparison of the X and Y reveal regions of homology between the two. However, the corresponding region in the Y appears far shorter and lacks regions that are conserved in the X throughout primate species, implying a genetic degeneration for Y in that region. Because males have only one X chromosome, they are more likely to have an X chromosome-related disease. It

225-460: Is one of the two sex chromosomes in many organisms, including mammals, and is found in both males and females. It is a part of the XY sex-determination system and XO sex-determination system . The X chromosome was named for its unique properties by early researchers, which resulted in the naming of its counterpart Y chromosome , for the next letter in the alphabet, following its subsequent discovery. It

250-487: Is vaguely X-shaped for all chromosomes. It is entirely coincidental that the Y chromosome , during mitosis , has two very short branches which can look merged under the microscope and appear as the descender of a Y-shape. It was first suggested that the X chromosome was involved in sex determination by Clarence Erwin McClung in 1901. After comparing his work on locusts with Henking's and others, McClung noted that only half

275-401: The Y chromosome containing about 70 genes, out of 20,000–25,000 total genes in the human genome. Each person usually has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Females typically have two X chromosomes, whereas males typically have one X and one Y chromosome . Both males and females retain one of their mother's X chromosomes, and females retain their second X chromosome from their father. Since

300-642: The father retains his X chromosome from his mother, a human female has one X chromosome from her paternal grandmother (father's side), and one X chromosome from her mother. This inheritance pattern follows the Fibonacci numbers at a given ancestral depth. Genetic disorders that are due to mutations in genes on the X chromosome are described as X linked . If the X chromosome has a genetic disease gene, it always causes illness in male patients, since men have only one X chromosome and therefore only one copy of each gene. Females, instead, require both X chromosomes to have

325-403: The gene count estimates of human X chromosome. Because researchers use different approaches to genome annotation their predictions of the number of genes on each chromosome varies (for technical details, see gene prediction ). Among various projects, the collaborative consensus coding sequence project ( CCDS ) takes an extremely conservative strategy. So CCDS's gene number prediction represents

350-418: The illness, and as a result could potentially only be a carrier of genetic illness, since their second X chromosome overrides the first. For example, hemophilia A and B and congenital red–green color blindness run in families this way. The X chromosome carries hundreds of genes but few, if any, of these have anything to do directly with sex determination. Early in embryonic development in females, one of

375-459: The male descendant's X chromosome ( F 3 = 2 {\displaystyle F_{3}=2} ). The maternal grandfather received his X chromosome from his mother, and the maternal grandmother received X chromosomes from both of her parents, so three great-grandparents contributed to the male descendant's X chromosome ( F 4 = 3 {\displaystyle F_{4}=3} ). Five great-great-grandparents contributed to

400-559: The male descendant's X chromosome ( F 5 = 5 {\displaystyle F_{5}=5} ), etc. (Note that this assumes that all ancestors of a given descendant are independent, but if any genealogy is traced far enough back in time, ancestors begin to appear on multiple lines of the genealogy, until eventually, a population founder appears on all lines of the genealogy.) The X chromosome in humans spans more than 153 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ). It represents about 800 protein-coding genes compared to

425-578: The pattern of inheritance of the white eyes mutation in Drosophila melanogaster . Such discoveries helped to explain x-linked disorders in humans, e.g., haemophilia A and B, adrenoleukodystrophy , and red-green color blindness . XX male syndrome is a rare disorder, where the SRY region of the Y chromosome has recombined to be located on one of the X chromosomes. As a result, the XX combination after fertilization has

450-499: The ribosome. This gene is co-transcribed with the U69 small nucleolar RNA gene, which is located in its second intron . As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. This article on a gene on the human X chromosome and/or its associated protein is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . X chromosome The X chromosome

475-412: The same effect as a XY combination, resulting in a male. However, the other genes of the X chromosome cause feminization as well. X-linked endothelial corneal dystrophy is an extremely rare disease of cornea associated with Xq25 region. Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy is associated with Xp22.3. Megalocornea 1 is associated with Xq21.3-q22 Adrenoleukodystrophy , a rare and fatal disorder that

525-519: The sperm received an X chromosome. He called this chromosome an accessory chromosome , and insisted (correctly) that it was a proper chromosome, and theorized (incorrectly) that it was the male-determining chromosome. Luke Hutchison noticed that a number of possible ancestors on the X chromosome inheritance line at a given ancestral generation follows the Fibonacci sequence . A male individual has an X chromosome, which he received from his mother, and

550-485: The two X chromosomes is permanently inactivated in nearly all somatic cells (cells other than egg and sperm cells). This phenomenon is called X-inactivation or Lyonization , and creates a Barr body . If X-inactivation in the somatic cell meant a complete de-functionalizing of one of the X-chromosomes, it would ensure that females, like males, had only one functional copy of the X chromosome in each somatic cell. This

575-400: Was a different class of the object and consequently named it X element , which later became X chromosome after it was established that it was indeed a chromosome. The idea that the X chromosome was named after its similarity to the letter "X" is mistaken. All chromosomes normally appear as an amorphous blob under the microscope and take on a well-defined shape only during mitosis. This shape

600-515: Was first noted that the X chromosome was special in 1890 by Hermann Henking in Leipzig. Henking was studying the testicles of Pyrrhocoris and noticed that one chromosome did not take part in meiosis . Chromosomes are so named because of their ability to take up staining ( chroma in Greek means color ). Although the X chromosome could be stained just as well as the others, Henking was unsure whether it

625-569: Was previously assumed to be the case. However, recent research suggests that the Barr body may be more biologically active than was previously supposed. The partial inactivation of the X-chromosome is due to repressive heterochromatin that compacts the DNA and prevents the expression of most genes. Heterochromatin compaction is regulated by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 ( PRC2 ). The following are some of
