| Function |
Protein kinase that positively regulates proper entry into stationary phase of cells under nutrient starvation conditions. Involved in glycogen and trehalose accumulation, derepression of stress-induced genes, induction of thermotolerance and starvation resistance, and proper G1 cell cycle arrest. Also involved in the activation of a meiotic genes activation pathway. Phosphorylates IGO1 and IGO2, both involved in the TORC1 control of gene expression and chronological life span. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16308562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20471941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9744870}.
