Structural highlights

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]}
