Reaction: ATP + α-D-ribose-1-phosphate = ADP + α-D-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate
Systematic name: ATP:α-D-ribose-1-phosphate 5-phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the halophilic archaeon Halopiger xanaduensis, participates in a non-carboxylating pentose bisphosphate pathway for nucleoside degradation, which is found in some halophilic archaea. cf. EC 2.7.1.212, α-D-ribose-1-phosphate 5-kinase (ADP).
