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

Mitochondrial Aurora kinase A induces mitophagy by interacting with MAP1LC3 and Prohibitin 2
The multifunctional Ser/Thr kinase AURKA uses the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane receptor PHB2 and MAP1LC3 as a signalling platform to orchestrate the elimination of dysfunctional mitochondria.

Differential immunization identifies PHB1/PHB2 as blood-borne tumor antigens [PDF]
Early diagnosis of cancer is crucial for successful treatment. Noninvasive assays for detecting tumor-derived antigens in serum and other bodily fluids have the potential to screen healthy individuals for hitherto undetected cancers. Very few such assays have been successfully developed, in part because identifying potential target antigens remains a ...

Knockdown of prohibitin 2 promotes apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 [PDF]
Objective To explore mechanism of prohibitin 2(PHB2) inhibition on the apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549. Methods For stable knockdown of PHB2, A549 strain was infected with lentiviruses. A549 cells with PHB2 depletion were

PHB2 promotes tumorigenesis via RACK1 in non-small cell lung cancer
Background: Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among cancers worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the most common type. Increasing evidence shows that PHB2 is highly expressed in other cancer types; however, the effects of PHB2 in NSCLC are currently poorly understood.

BackgroundThe pluripotent state of embryonic stem (ES) cells is controlled by a network of specific transcription factors. Recent studies also suggested the significant contribution of mitochondria on the regulation of pluripotent stem cells.

The Role of Prohibitin-2 in Diseases
Prohibitin-2 (PHB2) is a conserved protein in mitochondria that regulates various biological processes, including cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, transcription, signal transduction, and mitochondrial ridge morphogenesis.

Casein kinase 1 proteomics reveal prohibitin 2 function in molecular clock.
Throughout the day, clock proteins synchronize changes in animal physiology (e.g., wakefulness and appetite) with external cues (e.g., daylight and food).

PHB2 Alleviates Neurotoxicity of Prion Peptide PrP106–126 via PINK1/Parkin-Dependent Mitophagy
Prion diseases are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal death. Mitophagy is a selective form of macroautophagy that clears injured mitochondria.
