Function
[KAIC_SYNE7] Core component of the KaiABC clock protein complex, which constitutes the main circadian regulator in cyanobacteria. Binds to DNA. The KaiABC complex may act as a promoter-nonspecific transcription regulator that represses transcription, possibly by acting on the state of chromosome compaction.[1] [2] [KAIA_SYNE7] Component of the KaiABC clock protein complex, which constitutes the main circadian regulator in cyanobacteria. The KaiABC complex may act as a promoter-nonspecific transcription regulator that represses transcription, possibly by acting on the state of chromosome compaction. In the complex, it enhances the phosphorylation status of KaiC. In contrast, the presence of KaiB in the complex decreases the phosphorylation status of KaiC, suggesting that KaiB acts by antagonizing the interaction between KaiA and KaiC. A KaiA dimer is sufficient to enhance KaiC hexamer phosphorylation.[3] [4] [5] [6] [KAIB_SYNE7] Component of the KaiABC clock protein complex, which constitutes the main circadian regulator in cyanobacteria. The KaiABC complex may act as a promoter-non-specific transcription regulator that represses transcription, possibly by acting on the state of chromosome compaction. In the complex, it decreases the phosphorylation status of KaiC. It has no effect on KaiC by itself, but instead need the presence of both KaiA and KaiC, suggesting that it acts by antagonizing the interaction between KaiA and KaiC.[7] [8] [9] [10]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Cyanobacteria have a robust circadian oscillator, known as the Kai system. Reconstituted from the purified protein components KaiC, KaiB, and KaiA, it can tick autonomously in the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). The KaiC hexamers enter a natural 24-hour reaction cycle of autophosphorylation and assembly with KaiB and KaiA in numerous diverse forms. We describe the preparation of stoichiometrically well-defined assemblies of KaiCB and KaiCBA, as monitored by native mass spectrometry, allowing for a structural characterization by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry. Our data reveal details of the interactions between the Kai proteins and provide a structural basis to understand periodic assembly of the protein oscillator.
