First sentence: Over the past few years, a growing body of evidence has brought to light critical roles for ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation in controlling the cellular levels of a large variety of proteins such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, oncogenes, and tumor suppressors, which play integral roles in regulation of cell growth.
