3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid kinase

Class of enzymes


3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid kinase (EC 2.7.1.166, kdkA (gene), Kdo kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:(KDO)-lipid IVA 3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-2-ulopyranose 4-phosphotransferase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IVA + ATP 4-O-phospho-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IVA + ADP
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

The enzyme phosphorylates the 4-OH position of KDO in (KDO)-lipid IVA.
