“…Mutants of Sty1/Spc1 and Wis1, which are homologues of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and MAPKK, respectively, are defective in proper entry into the G 0 phase. These mutants are unable to cease cell growth, arrest with 1C DNA and sustain viability after nitrogen withdrawal (Sajiki et al, 2009;Sajiki, Tahara, Villar-Briones et al, 2018). TORC2 and Gad8, a downstream effector kinase of TORC2, were also reported to be required for cells to arrest with 1C DNA under −N and sexual differentiation (Ikeda, Morigasaki, Tatebe, Tamanoi, & Shiozaki, 2008;Martin et al, 2017;Matsuo, Kubo, Watanabe, & Yamamoto, 2003).…”
