EC 2.7.2.1

Accepted name: acetate kinase

Reaction: ATP + acetate = ADP + acetyl phosphate

Other name(s): acetokinase; AckA; AK; acetic kinase; acetate kinase (phosphorylating)

Systematic name: ATP:acetate phosphotransferase

Comments: Requires Mg2+ for activity. While purified enzyme from Escherichia coli is specific for acetate [4], others have found that the enzyme can also use propanoate as a substrate, but more slowly [7]. Acetate can be converted into the key metabolic intermediate acetyl-CoA by coupling acetate kinase with EC 2.3.1.8, phosphate acetyltransferase. Both this enzyme and EC 2.7.2.15, propionate kinase, play important roles in the production of propanoate [9].

For diagram click here.

Other name(s): aspartokinase; AK; β-aspartokinase; aspartic kinase

This is also the case for two of the four isoenzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The equilibrium constant strongly favours the reaction from right to left, i.e. the non-physiological direction of reaction.

EC 2.7.2.18

Accepted name: fatty acid kinase

Reaction: ATP + a fatty acid = ADP + a fatty acyl phosphate (overall reaction)
(1a) ATP + a fatty acid-[fatty acid-binding protein] = ADP + a fatty acyl phosphate-[fatty acid-binding protein]
(1b) a fatty acyl phosphate-[fatty acid-binding protein] + a fatty acid = a fatty acyl phosphate + a fatty acid-[fatty acid-binding protein]

Other name(s): fakAB (gene names)

Systematic name: ATP:fatty acid 1-phosphotransferase

Comments: The enzyme is a dimeric complex consisting of an ATP-binding protein (FakA) and a fatty acid-binding protein (FakB). The first step in the reaction is the binding of FakB (with a bound fatty acid) to FakA. The fatty acid bound to FakB is then phosphorylated by FakA, and the fatty acyl phosphate-bound FakB is released from the complex. In the presence of an exchangeable fatty acid pool in the cell membrane, the fatty acy phosphate bound to FakB exchanges with a fatty acid to regenerate the substrate for FakA. The system is widespread in Gram-positive bacteria, with most strains possessing a single FakA protein along with multiple FakB subunits that differ in their specificity towards fatty acid substrates.
