EC 2.7.1.185     
Accepted name: mevalonate 3-kinase
Reaction: ATP + (R)-mevalonate = ADP + (R)-3-phosphomevalonate

Other name(s): ATP:(R)-MVA 3-phosphotransferase
Systematic name: ATP:(R)-mevalonate 3-phosphotransferase
Comments: Mevalonate 3-kinase and mevalonate-3-phosphate-5-kinase (EC 2.7.1.186) act sequentially in an alternate mevalonate pathway in the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum. Mevalonate 3-kinase is different from mevalonate kinase, EC 2.7.1.36, which transfers phosphate to position 5 of (R)-mevalonate and is part of the classical mevalonate pathway in eukaryotes and archaea.
