Description of "C36E8.5" | tbb-2 encodes a homolog of mammalian beta-tubulin (TUBB) that is expressed at high levels in the germline; TBB-2 is redundant for embryonic viability, due to its paralog TBB-1; however, unlike its paralog TBB-1 it is preferred for normal microtubule severing by the katanin complex MEI-1/MEI-2; TBB-2 is required together with TBB-1, TBA-1, and tba-2 to make spindle structures in embryos and TBB-2 also affects the stability of the PO spindle; first divisions are normal in null mutants, but putative gain-of-function mutations affect centrosome rotations in the P0, P1, and EMS blastomeres of the early embryo, and affect pronuclear migration and meiosis. | ||
