This domain is found at the N-terminal end of Circadian clock protein KaiA from Synechococcus elongatus and similar bacterial proteins. KaiA is essential for circadian timekeeping. This protein organised into two domains. This entry represents the a pseudo-receiver domain, which has a similar fold with that of bacterial response regulators, with an alpha-beta structure [1-5].
The cyanobacterial clock proteins KaiA and KaiB are proposed as regulators of the circadian rhythm in cyanobacteria. The overall fold of the KaiA C-terminal domain is that of a four-helix bundle, which forms a dimer in the known structure [1].
