Figure 2 Overlapping alterations to the liver mitochondrial proteome contribute to the development of alcohol-induced liver disease. This figure illustrates the concept that there is a unique mitochondrial sub-proteome that when altered by chronic alcohol mediated mtDNA/ribosome damage, increased ROS/RNS production, and energy deficits contribute to the development of alcohol hepatotoxicity. These alterations involve changes in both protein levels (panel A) and post-translational modifications (PTMs, panel B) to this susceptible population of mitochondrial proteins.
