Prohibitin and mitochondrial biology [PDF]
8 pages, 2 figures.--PMID: 19733482 [PubMed]Prohibitins are ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved proteins that are mainly localized in mitochondria. The mitochondrial prohibitin complex comprises two subunits, PHB1 and PHB2.

Prohibitin-2 (PHB2) is a scaffold protein that has pleiotropic functions, which include interacting with γ-glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT) in the cytoplasm and repressing the transcriptional activities of the p21Waf1/Cip (p21) gene in the nucleus.

Mitochondrial Functions and Estrogen Receptor-dependent Nuclear Translocation of Pleiotropic Human Prohibitin 2 [PDF]
Proteins with multiple cellular functions provide biological diversity to eukaryotic cells. In the current studies, we identified the mitochondrial functions of human prohibitin 2 (PHB2), which was initially identified as a repressor of estrogen-dependent transcriptional activity.

Does prohibitin expression regulate sperm mitochondrial membrane potential, sperm motility, and male fertility? [PDF]
Prohibitin (PHB) is a highly conserved major sperm mitochondrial membrane protein whose absence in somatic cells is associated with mitochondrial membrane depolarization and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Background Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, infects roughly 12 million people worldwide, with about two million new cases per year. Prohibitins (PHBs) are highly conserved proteins belonging to the stomatin-prohibitin

Akt binds prohibitin 2 and relieves its repression of MyoD and muscle differentiation [PDF]
In a yeast two-hybrid screen using the full-length Akt as bait, we found that prohibitin 2 (PHB2) specifically interacts with Akt. The C terminus of Akt (amino acids 413-480) and a central region of PHB2 (amino acids 120-232) are responsible for their mutual interaction. PHB2 acts as a transcriptional repressor in cells.

Comparative proteomic analysis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Ranking as the fourth commonest cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents one of the leading causes of cancer death in China. One of the main reasons for the low survival rate is that neoplasms in esophagus are not detected until they ...

The norovirus NS3 protein is a dynamic lipid- and microtubule-associated protein involved in viral RNA replication [PDF]
Norovirus (NoV) infections are a significant health burden to society, yet the lack of reliable tissue culture systems has hampered the development of appropriate antiviral therapies.
