Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of gene expression control: Gene expression can be regulated at various stages, including transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation.
Identify the role of protein degradation: Protein degradation involves breaking down proteins after they have been synthesized, which affects the levels of functional proteins in the cell.
Relate protein degradation to gene expression control: Since protein degradation occurs after the protein has been synthesized, it is a mechanism that regulates the amount of protein present in the cell, thus controlling gene expression at a later stage.
Classify the stage of control: Since protein degradation happens after translation, it is classified as post-translational control.
Conclude the classification: Therefore, protein degradation is a strategy of post-translational control in gene expression.
