2.7.1.215 |
| Accepted name: |
erythritol kinase (D-erythritol 1-phosphate-forming) |
| Reaction: |
ATP + erythritol = ADP + D-erythritol 1-phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
eryA (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:erythritol 1-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the pathogenic bacterium Brucella abortus, which causes brucellosis in livestock, participates in erythritol catabolism. cf. EC 2.7.1.27, erythritol kinase (D-erythritol 4-phosphate-forming). |
