Minimal elements within a protein that are sufficient for recognition and degradation by a proteolytic apparatus. Inherent degrons are comprised of short linear amino acid sequences and secondary protein structural features that increase the affinity to E3 LIGASE; and are involved in regulating the specificity and timing of PROTEIN DEGRADATION. Acquired degrons are mostly transient and conferred by post-translational modifications of specific amino acids within proteins. (From Mol Cell. 2016 Sep 15;63(6):1055-65)
