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.
