Figure 1: Role of KaiC ATPase in cyanobacterial circadian clock

Caption

The clock can be reconstituted in a test tube in the presence of ATP (right upper panel). Dual ATPases in KaiC are activated and inactivated rhythmically (right lower panel) to provide a timing cue for the assembly and disassembly of KaiA and KaiB (left panel).
