But surprisingly, when SRP is removed from yeast cells by deleting the relevant genes, the cells are still alive (although they grow slowly). a) How can yeast survive without SRP?

- You are studying the M-cyclin. You treat mitotic cells with an inhibitor of the proteasome and find that M-cyclin is no longer degraded and that this prolongs mitosis. You also find that in the presence of the inhibitor, M-cyclin is now running slower/larger in a Western than you have previously observed. In 1-2 sentences, explain why this might be happening.
