Uty transgenic construct and expression levels during development in the placenta and brain. (A) Schematic of enzymes involved in methylation (glycosylated EZH2) and demethylation (UTX and potentially UTY) of histone 3 lysine 27. (B) Simplified schematic of Uty transgenic construct. See Supplementary File 1 for more details. (C) Uty mRNA expression in E18.5 placenta and brain from XX females, XX + Uty females, XY males (n = 3–6). A significant effect of genotype was observed for relative mRNA expression in the placenta (F (2,11) = 135.4, p = 0.0001; η2 = 0.96, ****p ≤ 0.0001; C), with XX + Uty females having significantly higher Uty expression compared to XX females and XY males (p ≤ 0.0001; p ≤ 0.0001) and XY males having significantly higher Uty expression compared to XX females (p = 0.0003). In the hypothalamus a significant effect of genotype was observed for mRNA expression (F(2,10) = 165.2, p = 0.0001; η2 = 0.97, ****p ≤ 0.0001; C), with XX + Uty females having significantly higher Uty expression compared to XX females and XY males (p ≤ 0.0001; p ≤ 0.0001) and XY males having significantly higher Uty expression compared to XX females (p ≤ 0.0001).
