Prohibitin has been connected to diverse cellular functions including cell cycle control, senescence, apoptosis and stabilization of mitochondrial proteins. By employing a loss of function approach using siRNAs we have demonstrated an unexpected role of PHB in the activation of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway by active Ras and in modulating epithelial cell adhesion and migration. PHB directly interacts with C-Raf and is required for the displacement of 14-3-3 from C-Raf by active Ras to facilitate plasma membrane localization and activation. Further, the adherent complex proteins cadherin and beta-catenin were localized to plasma membrane suggesting stabilized adherent junctions in PHB silenced cells. Our findings demonstrated a function of PHB in the control of a central signaling pathway involved in cell growth and malignant transformation.
