High impact information on RP5-821D11.2

  • MEI-1/MEI-2 katanin-like microtubule severing activity is required for Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis [1].
  • In support of this idea, MEI-1 and MEI-2 physically associate in HeLa cells [1].
  • Although it has been difficult to establish the role of katanin in mitosis, new genetic evidence indicates that a katanin-like protein, MEI-1, plays an essential role in meiosis in C. elegans [2].
  • Biochemical studies using the BTB protein MEL-26 and its genetic target MEI-1 (refs 12, 13) indicate that BTB proteins merge the functional properties of Skp1 and F-box proteins into a single polypeptide [3].
 

Anatomical context of RP5-821D11.2

  • MEI-1 and MEI-2 antibodies decorate the polar ends of meiotic spindle microtubules and meiotic chromatin [1].
