Quiescence and gametogenesis represent two distinct survival strategies in response to nutrient starvation in budding yeast. Precisely how environmental signals are sensed by yeast cells to trigger quiescence and gametogenesis is not fully understood. A conserved signalling module consisting of Greatwall kinase, Endosulfine and Protein Phosphatase PP2ACdc55 proteins regulates entry into mitosis in Xenopus egg extracts and meiotic maturation in flies. We report here that an analogous signalling module consisting of the serine-threonine kinase Rim15, the Endosulfines Igo1 and Igo2 and the Protein Phosphatase PP2ACdc55, regulates entry into both quiescence and gametogenesis in budding yeast. PP2ACdc55 inhibits entry into gametogenesis and quiescence. Rim15 promotes entry into gametogenesis and quiescence by converting Igo1 into an inhibitor of PP2ACdc55 by phosphorylating at a conserved serine residue. Moreover, we show that the Rim15-Endosulfine-PP2ACdc55 pathway regulates entry into quiescence and gametogenesis by distinct mechanisms. In addition, we show that Igo1 and Igo2 are required for pre-meiotic autophagy but the lack of pre-meiotic autophagy is insufficient to explain the sporulation defect of igo1Δ igo2Δ cells. We propose that the Rim15-Endosulfine-PP2ACdc55 signalling module triggers entry into quiescence and gametogenesis by regulating dephosphorylation of distinct substrates. The fundamental property of a cell is to sense changes in the environment and then respond in a way that maximizes its chances of survival. When diploid budding yeast cells are subjected to complete nutrient starvation they have two possible fates, namely quiescence and gametogenesis. Quiescent cells have reduced rates of transcription and translation and increased stress tolerance. Gametogenesis results in production of haploid spores that can survive for long periods of time. In this paper, we report a signalling module that regulates entry into both quiescence and gametogenesis in budding yeast. The module consists of three molecular components namely a serine-threonine kinase Rim15, a phosphatase PP2ACdc55 and a conserved protein called as endosulfine. PP2ACdc55 negatively regulates entry into gametogenesis and quiescence. Upon nutrient starvation, Rim15 becomes active and phosphorylates endosulfine. This converts endosulfine to an inhibitor of PP2ACdc55 and thereby leading to entry into quiescence and gametogenesis. Remarkably, an analogous module consisting of Greatwall kinase, PP2A-B55δ and endosulfine regulates entry into mitosis in frog egg extracts and meiotic maturation in flies suggesting that this signalling module is highly conserved and co-opted during evolution to control distinct biological processes in different organisms.
