The interaction of diagnosis and exon ID was highly significant (p = 6.7E-07, Bonferroni-corrected p = 1.4E-02) owing to the selective down-regulated of an exon (probeset ID 8086013; p = 0.019) in the context of comparable expression levels of all other exons.

Article Title: Dynein Light Intermediate Chain 2 Facilitates the Metaphase to Anaphase Transition by Inactivating the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0159646

Figure Lengend Snippet: Novel functions of mitotic LIC2 uncovered from this study in silencing the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) are shown. LIC2-dynein strips attachment sensing SAC proteins (Mad1, Mad2, Zw10) from metaphase kinetochores, like LIC1-dynein. LIC2-dynein has the additional capability of causing removal of tension-sensing SAC protein BubR1, which is lacking in LIC1-dynein. The model offers a possible mechanistic explanation for the differential effects of the two LICs in mediating metaphase to anaphase progression.
