Although originally identified as putative negative regulators of the cell cycle, recent studies have demonstrated that the
PHB proteins act as a chaperone in the assembly of subunits of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. The two PHB proteins,
Phb1p and Phb2p, are located in the mitochondrial inner membrane where they form a large complex that represents a novel type
of membrane-bound chaperone. On the basis of its native molecular weight, the PHB-complex should contain 12-14 copies of both
Phb1p and Phb2p. The PHB complex binds directly to newly synthesised mitochondrial translation products and stabilises them
against degradation by membrane-bound metalloproteases belonging to the family of mitochondrial triple-A proteins. Sequence
homology assigns Phb1p and Phb2p to a family of proteins which also contains stomatins, HflKC, flotillins and plant defence
proteins. However, to date only the bacterial HflKC proteins have been shown to possess a direct functional homology with
the PHB complex. Previously assigned actions of the PHB proteins, including roles in tumour suppression, cell cycle regulation,
immunoglobulin M receptor binding and apoptosis seem unlikely in view of any hard evidence in their support. Nevertheless,
because the proteins are probably indirectly involved in ageing and cancer, we assess their possible role in these processes.
Finally, we suggest that the original name for these proteins, the prohibitins, should be amended to reflect their roles as
proteins that hold badly formed subunits, thereby keeping the nomenclature already in use but altering its meaning to reflect
their true function more accurately.
