EC 2.7.1.178

Accepted name: 2-dehydro-3-deoxyglucono/galactono-kinase

Reaction: (1) ATP + 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate = ADP + 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phospho-D-gluconate
(2) ATP + 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate = ADP + 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phospho-D-galactonate

Other name(s): KDG kinase (ambiguous); KDGK (ambiguous); 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-gluconate kinase (ambiguous)

Systematic name: ATP:2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate/2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate 6-phosphotransferase

Comments: The enzyme from the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus is involved in glucose and galactose catabolism via the branched variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. It phosphorylates 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate with similar catalytic efficiency. cf. EC 2.7.1.45, 2-dehydro-3-deoxygluconokinase and EC 2.7.1.58, 2-dehydro-3-deoxygalactonokinase.
