Serine/threonine protein kinase; associates with TORC1 and likely involved in TOR signaling cascades; negative regulator of autophagy; nuclear translocation required for haploid filamentous growth; regulates filamentous growth induced nuclear translocation of Bcy1p, Fus3p, and Sks1p; overproduction causes allele-specific suppression of prp20-10; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
