Prohibitin is an evolutionarily conserved gene postulated to possess tumor suppressor activity and to contribute to the limited lifespan of human diploid fibroblast-like cells. Prohibitin mRNA and protein expression and its ability to become post-translationally modified were determined in human diploid fibroblast-like cells of different in vitro ages. The expression of prohibitin mRNA and protein changes little with increasing in vitro age; however, its protein product is post-synthetically modified in younger but not older cells. These results suggest that prohibitin is similar to the retinoblastoma gene product whose anti-proliferative activity remains active in older cells because it is not post-synthetically modified.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D012097 Repressor Proteins Proteins which maintain the transcriptional quiescence of specific GENES or OPERONS. Classical repressor proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are normally bound to the OPERATOR REGION of an operon, or the ENHANCER SEQUENCES of a gene until a signal occurs that causes their release.

D000091402 Prohibitins Ubiquitously expressed conserved proteins associated with multiple functions including APOPTOSIS; CELL PROLIFERATION, regulations of various immune and mitochondrial functions, and cellular stress responses. Prohibitin 1 and prohibitin 2 form a ring-shaped complex in the INNER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE. Prohibitin
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
