Cyanobacteria form a heterogeneous bacterial group with diverse lifestyles, acclimation strategies, and differences in the presence of circadian clock proteins. In Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, a unique posttranslational KaiABC oscillator drives circadian rhythms. ATPase activity of KaiC correlates with the period of the clock and mediates temperature compensation.Synechocystissp. strain PCC 6803 expresses additional Kai proteins, of which KaiB3 and KaiC3 proteins were suggested to fine-tune the standard KaiAB1C1 oscillator. In the present study, we therefore characterized the enzymatic activity of KaiC3 as a representative of nonstandard KaiC homologsin vitro. KaiC3 displayed ATPase activity lower than that of the Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 KaiC protein. ATP hydrolysis was temperature dependent. Hence, KaiC3 is missing a defining feature of the model cyanobacterial circadian oscillator. Yeast two-hybrid analysis showed that KaiC3 interacts with KaiB3, KaiC1, and KaiB1. Further, KaiB3 and KaiB1 reducedin vitroATP hydrolysis by KaiC3. Spot assays showed that chemoheterotrophic growth in constant darkness is completely abolished after deletion of ΔkaiAB1C1and reduced in the absence ofkaiC3. We therefore suggest a role for adaptation to darkness for KaiC3 as well as a cross talk between the KaiC1- and KaiC3-based systems.IMPORTANCEThe circadian clock influences the cyanobacterial metabolism, and deeper understanding of its regulation will be important for metabolic optimizations in the context of industrial applications. Due to the heterogeneity of cyanobacteria, characterization of clock systems in organisms apart from the circadian model Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is required.Synechocystissp. strain PCC 6803 represents a major cyanobacterial model organism and harbors phylogenetically diverged homologs of the clock proteins, which are present in various other noncyanobacterial prokaryotes. By ourin vitrostudies we unravel the interplay of the multipleSynechocystisKai proteins and characterize enzymatic activities of the nonstandard clock homolog KaiC3. We show that the deletion ofkaiC3affects growth in constant darkness, suggesting its involvement in the regulation of nonphotosynthetic metabolic pathways.
