Reaction: ATP + 2,3-diphospho-D-glycerate = ADP + phosphate + cyclic 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate
Other name(s): cpgS (gene name)
Systematic name: (2R)-2,3-bisphosphoglycerate ligase (cyclizing)
Comments: The enzyme is present in a number of methanogenic archaeal genera that accumulate cyclic 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate as a thermoprotectant. Activity is stimulated by potassium ions.
