EC 2.7.1.223     
Accepted name: aminoimidazole riboside kinase
Reaction: ATP + 5-amino-1-(β-D-ribosyl)imidazole = ADP + 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-β-D-ribosyl)imidazole
Other name(s): STM4066 (locus name)
Systematic name: ATP:5-amino-1-(β-D-ribosyl)imidazole 5′-phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Salmonella enterica, can phosphorylate exogeneously-provided 5-amino-1-(β-D-ribosyl)imidazole to form 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-β-D-ribosyl)imidazole (AIR), an important intermediate in the production of both purine mononucleotides and the hydroxymethyl pyrimidine moiety of thiamine.
