Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontbb-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.Paper_evidence (11)

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in meiotic spindle organization. Located in spindle microtubule. Expressed in several structures, including germ line; gonad; oocyte; tail; and touch receptor neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 1 and congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles 3A. Is an ortholog of several human genes including TUBB3 (tubulin beta 3 class III); TUBB6 (tubulin beta 6 class V); and TUBB8B (tubulin beta 8B).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
