While γ-tubulin 1 is ubiquitous, γ-tubulin 2 is known to be not able to substitute for γ-tubulin 1 deficiency in blastocysts. This research article presents our contribution to deciphering of γ-tubulin 2 role. We have found that exogenous γ-tubulin 2 is targeted to centrosomes and interacts with γ-tubulin complex proteins 2 and 4. Depletion of γ-tubulin 1 by RNAi in U2Os cells causes impaired microtubule nucleation and metaphase arrest. Wild-type phenotype in γ-tubulin 1-depleted cells is restored by expression of exogenous mouse and human γ-tubulin 2. Using RT-qPCR and 2D-PAGE, we have found that Tubg2 expression is dramatically reduced in mouse blastocysts. This indicates that γ-tubulin 2 cannot rescue γ-tubulin 1 deficiency in knock-out blastocysts. The obtained data suggest that γ-tubulin 2 is able to nucleate microtubules and subtitute for γ-tubulin 1. We propose that mammalian γ-tubulins are functionally redundant with respect to the nucleation activity of microtubules.
