Bardag-Gorce; (2) The role of CYP2E1 phosphorylation and degradation pathway in the induction of the enzyme, by Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg; (3) Role of proteasome in the proteolysis of oxidized proteins in experimental chronic alcoholism, by Helen Rouach; (4) Alcohol, proteolysis and liver cancer, by R. J. Mayer; (5) Effect of ethanol feeding on the ATP-ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in the liver cell, by F. Bardag-Gorce; (6) Novel mechanisms and targets for intracellular transport of CYP2E1, by E.
