High glucose- or AGE-induced oxidative stress inhibits hippocampal neuronal mitophagy through the Keap1–Nrf2–PHB2 pathway in diabetic encephalopathy [PDF]
Diabetic encephalopathy (DE) is a severe complication of diabetes, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of high glucose (HG)- and advanced glycosylation end product (AGE)-induced ...

<i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium persistently infects host via its effector SseJ-induced PHB2-mediated mitophagy. [PDF]
Despite decades of research on effective methods to resist Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) pathogenicity, the mechanisms of S. Typhimurium-host interactions have not been fully determined. S. Typhimurium is characterized as an important zoonosis in public health worldwide because of its endemicity, high morbidity, and ...

Efficient PHB2 (prohibitin 2) exposure during mitophagy depends on VDAC1 (voltage dependent anion channel 1). [PDF]
Exposure of inner mitochondrial membrane resident protein PHB2 (prohibitin 2) during autophagic removal of depolarized mitochondria (mitophagy) depends on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. This uncovering facilitates the PHB2 interaction with phagophore membrane-associated protein MAP1LC3/LC3.

Defining functional classes of Barth syndrome mutation in humans [PDF]
The X-linked disease Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in TAZ; TAZ is the main determinant of the final acyl chain composition of the mitochondrial-specific phospholipid, cardiolipin.

BIG3 Inhibits the Estrogen-Dependent Nuclear Translocation of PHB2 via Multiple Karyopherin-Alpha Proteins in Breast Cancer Cells. [PDF]
We recently reported that brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein 3 (BIG3) binds Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) in cytoplasm, thereby causing a loss of function of the PHB2 tumor suppressor in the nuclei of breast cancer cells.

PHB2 Protects Sister-Chromatid Cohesion in Mitosis [PDF]
Cohesion between sister chromatids is essential for proper chromosome segregation in mitosis. In vertebrate mitotic cells, most cohesin is removed from the chromosome arms [1-4], but centromeric cohesin is protected by shugoshin until the onset of anaphase [5].

PHB2/prohibitin 2: An inner membrane mitophagy receptor [PDF]
Mitophagy, the selective autophagic elimination of mitochondria, is a conserved cellular process critical for maintaining normal cellular physiology, and defects in this process are associated with certain pathophysiologies. In a recently published paper, Wei et al. describe their discovery of a hitherto unexplored mechanism of marking mitochondria for

Non-classical ferroptosis inhibition by a small molecule targeting PHB2
AbstractFerroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis inhibition is thought as a promising therapeutic strategy for a variety of diseases. Currently, a majority of known ferroptosis inhibitors belong to either antioxidants or iron-chelators. Here we report a new ferroptosis inhibitor,
