DESCRIPTION

Also known as KAIC_THEEB, kaiC. 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 (By similarity). Homohexamer; hexamerization is dependent on ATP-binding. Core component of the KaiABC complex, at least composed of a KaiC homohexamer, a KaiB dimer and two KaiA dimers. Interacts directly with SasA (By similarity).
