Understand that proteins in cells are regulated for degradation to maintain cellular function and homeostasis.
Recognize that specific sequences or regions on proteins signal for their degradation.
Learn that these sequences are known as 'degrons', which are recognized by the cellular machinery responsible for protein degradation.
Differentiate degrons from other related terms such as 'ubiquitin', which is a small protein that tags proteins for degradation, and 'ubiquitin binding site', which is where ubiquitin attaches to the protein.
Conclude that the region on a protein that controls its degradation over time is called a 'degron'.
