Single-molecular and ensemble-level oscillations of cyanobacterial circadian clock

Cyanobacterial proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, can reconstitute a circadian clock when they are incubated with ATP in vitro. In order to understand this prototypical oscillator, we need to analyze both synchronization of a macroscopically large number of oscillating molecules and microscopic reactions in individual molecules. We introduced two theoretical models to unify macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints. Simulation results suggest that ATP hydrolysis is necessary for synchronization and temperature compensation and that ATPase activity is correlated to the oscillation frequency in individual molecules. Thus, ATP hydrolysis stochastically occurring in individual molecules should determine important features of the ensemble-level oscillation.
