The breakdown of the synthesized protein is not a control mechanism for regulating the amount of protein synthesized in eukaryotic cells. While protein breakdown does occur in cells, it is not a mechanism by which the cell regulates the amount of protein synthesized. The other choices - inhibition of translation with miRNAs, transcript processing, transcription regulation, and stabilization of mRNA - are all control mechanisms that eukaryotic cells use to regulate protein synthesis.
