mei-2 encodes a novel protein that contains a region similar to the p80-targeting subunit of katanin that is required for embryonic viability, alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate, and establishment of the oocyte meiotic spindle together with MEI-1; can interact with MEI-1 in HeLa cells and this complex can function to disassemble microtubules, expressed in the germ line, throughout the cytoplasm of most mature oocytes within the proximal gonad, and localization is mutually dependent upon MEI-1
