How can you use “degrade” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The other non-null recBCD mutants ( recC1001, recC1002, recC1003, recC1004, recC2145, recB2154 , and recB2155 ) are all nuclease positive [ 21 22 ] . They would be expected to degrade the huge linears.
For example, Cul1 mutations in mice result in the accumulation of the SCF substrate cyclin E but not of p27 another well characterized SCF substrate [ 32 ] . Among all of the substrates targeted for degradation by SCF in S. cerevisiae , it is the failure to degrade Sic1 that underlies the G1 arrest in cdc53 mutants [ 3 ] [ 4 ] . Thus, different substrates of the SCF appear to have particularly high dependence on SCF activity in different biological contexts.
Mutations in the E2 enzyme Cdc34 or in any of the SCF Cdc4components (Cdc53/Cul1, Skp1 and Cdc4) arrest cells at the G1/S transition because of a failure to degrade the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor Sic1 [ 3 ] [ 4 ] . In a wild-type situation, G1 cyclin/CDK complexes phosphorylate Sic1 at the end of G1.
After being engulfed, the bacterium secretes virulence factors to degrade the phagosome.
This study demonstrates that monocytes and fibroblasts in co-culture can release MMPs and degrade extracellular matrix.
