Disease relevance of PHB1

 

High impact information on PHB1

  • This complex is similar in size to the yeast complex formed by the homologues Phb1p and Phb2p [2].
  • Deletion of PHB1 or PHB2 impairs growth of Deltayta10 or Deltayta12 cells but does not affect cell growth in the presence of the m-AAA protease [3].
  • Phb2p, a homolog of the tumor suppressor protein prohibitin, was identified in a genetic screen for suppressors of the loss of Mdm12p, a mitochondrial outer membrane protein required for normal mitochondrial morphology and inheritance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [4].
  • In otherwise wild-type genetic backgrounds, null mutations in PHB1 and PHB2 did not confer any obvious phenotypes [4].
  • These results provide the first evidence of a role for prohibitin in mitochondrial inheritance and in the regulation of mitochondrial morphology [4].
 

Biological context of PHB1

  • This loss of mitochondrial integrity was not seen in cells devoid of PHB1 but possessing an intact mitochondrial genome [5].
  • This may reflect an imbalance in the turnover of components of the respiratory chain in G0 cells, since the Phb1/2p complex is known to help stabilise these components [6].
  • Prohibitin proteins have been implicated in cell proliferation, ageing and the maintenance of mitochondrial integrity [6].
  • Prohibitin, which consists of two subunits PHB1 and PHB2, plays a role in cell-cycle progression, senescence, apoptosis, and maintenance of mitochondrial function in mammals and yeast [7].
  • Another gene postulated to effect senescence is PHB1, the yeast homologue of prohibitin [3], a rodent gene initially identified as a potential regulator of growth arrest and tumour suppressor [6-8] [8].
 

Anatomical context of PHB1

  • Proteolysis of nonassembled inner membrane proteins by the m-AAA protease is accelerated in mitochondria lacking Phb1p or Phb2p, indicating a negative regulatory effect of prohibitins on m-AAA protease activity [3].
  • Mitochondrial integrity is affected by the PHB1 and PHB2 genes, which encode inner mitochondrial membrane chaperones called prohibitins [9].
  • A second mammalian gene, encoding BAP37, a protein with sequence similarity to prohibitin, is thought to be involved in lymphocyte function [9] [8].
  • We further demonstrate that a deficiency in PHB proteins results in altered mitochondrial biogenesis in body wall muscle cells [10].
  • By using RNA-mediated gene inactivation, we show that PHB proteins are essential during embryonic development and are required for somatic and germline differentiation in the larval gonad [10].
 

Associations of PHB1 with chemical compounds

  • Synthetic lethal interaction of the mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic machinery with the prohibitin complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [11].
  • Deletion of PHB1 and PHB2 resulted in an increase of mitochondrial PtdEtn at 30 degrees C. On glucose media, phb1Delta psd1Delta and phb2Delta psd1Delta double mutants were rescued only for a limited number of generations by exogenous ethanolamine, indicating that a decrease of the PtdEtn level is detrimental for prohibitin mutants [11].
  • Finally, disruption of prohibitin function rendered the plants more susceptible to various oxidative stress-inducing reagents, including H(2)O(2), paraquat, antimycin A and salicylic acid [7].
 

Physical interactions of PHB1

  • A prohibitin complex with a native molecular mass of approximately 2 MDa containing Phb1p and Phb2p forms a supercomplex with the m-AAA protease [3].
 

Other interactions of PHB1

  • Membrane insertion involves binding of newly imported Phb1 to Tim8/13 complexes in the intermembrane space and is mediated by the TIM23-translocase [12].
