AbstractPuromycin-sensitive aminopeptidases are found across phyla and are known to regulate the cell-cycle and play a protective role in neurodegenerative disease. PAM-1 is a puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase important for meiotic exit and polarity establishment in the one-cell Caenorhabditis eleganspam-1wee-1.3pam-1wee-1.3pam-1pam-1
