Deletion of the distal region of chromosome 1 frequently occurs in a variety of human cancers, including aggressive neuroblastoma. Previously, we have identified a 500-kb homozygously deleted region at chromosome 1p36.2 harboring at least six genes in a neuroblastoma-derived cell line NB1/C201. Among them, only KIF1Bbeta, a member of the kinesin superfamily proteins, induced apoptotic cell death. These results prompted us to address whether KIF1Bbeta could be a tumor suppressor gene mapped to ch ...[more]
