Abstract
The cyanobacterial circadian oscillator consists of three Kai proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, in its oscillation feedback loop. Structural comparison reveals that the Kai system resembles the F1-ATPase system in which KaiC is equivalent to alpha(3)beta(3), KaiA to gammadelta, and KaiB to its inhibitory factor. It also suggests that there exists a possible haemagglutinin-like spring-loaded mechanism for the activation of KaiA during the formation of Kai complexes.Mesh：
