Beclin 1, an autophagy gene essential for early embryonic development, is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor

The biochemical properties of beclin 1 suggest a role in two fundamentally important cell biological pathways: autophagy and apoptosis. We show here that beclin 1(-/-) mutant mice die early in embryogenesis and beclin 1(+/-) mutant mice suffer from a high incidence of spontaneous tumors. These tumor...
