Complex composition changes during the circadian cycle to control KaiC phosphorylation. KaiA stimulates KaiC autophosphorylation, while KaiB sequesters KaiA, leading to KaiC autodephosphorylation. KaiA binding to the KaiC CII domain during the subjective day yields KaiA(2-4):KaiC(6) complexes which stimulate KaiC autophosphorylation. Phospho-Ser-431 KaiC accumulation triggers binding of KaiB during the subjective night to form the KaiB(6):KaiC(6) complex, leading to changes in the output regulators CikA and SasA. KaiB(6):KaiC(6) formation exposes a site for KaiA binding on KaiB that sequesters KaiA from KaiC's CII domain, making the KaiC(6):KaiB(6):KaiA(12) complex resulting in KaiC autodephosphorylation. Complete dephosphorylation of KaiC leads to dissociation of KaiA(2):KaiB(1), completing 1 cycle of the Kai oscillator (By similarity). Formation of the KaiB:KaiC complex is promoted by KaiA, helping switch KaiC from its autophosphorylation to autodephosphatase function (PubMed:24112939).[UniProtKB:Q79PF6] Binds oxidized quinones via the N-terminal PsR domain, allowing it to sense redox changes and possibly mediate clock input.[UniProtKB:Q79PF6] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed KaiA is a two-domain circadian clock protein in cyanobacteria, acting as the positive element in a feedback loop that sustains the oscillation. The structure of the N-terminal domain of KaiA is that of a pseudo-receiver, similar to those of bacterial response regulators, which likely interacts with components of the clock-resetting pathway. The C-terminal domain of KaiA is highly conserved among cyanobacteria and enhances the autokinase activity of KaiC. Here we present the NMR structure of the C-terminal domain of KaiA from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1. This domain adopts a novel all alpha-helical homodimeric structure. Several mutations known to affect the period of the circadian oscillator are shown to be located at an exposed groove near the dimer interface. This NMR structure and a 21-A-resolution electron microscopy structure of the hexameric KaiC particle allow us to postulate a mode of KaiA-KaiC interaction, in which KaiA binds a linker region connecting two globular KaiC domains.
