Reaction: AMP + thymidine = adenosine + dTMP
Glossary: dTMP = thymidine 5'-phosphate
Other name(s): adenylate-nucleoside phosphotransferase;
AMP:dThd kinase; adenylic acid:deoxythymidine 5'-phosphotransferase; AMP:deoxythymidine kinase; AMP:deoxythymidine 5'-phosphotransferase; thymidine phosphotransferase
Systematic name: AMP:thymidine 5'-phosphotransferase
Comments: The deoxypyrimidine kinase complex induced by Herpes simplex virus catalyses this reaction as well as those of EC 2.7.1.21 (thymidine kinase), EC 2.7.1.118 (ADP—thymidine kinase) and EC 2.7.4.9 (dTMP kinase).
