Source: InterPro

Description

IPR011877 is a Ribokinase.

<p>This entry describes ribokinase, an enzyme catalysing the first step in ribose catabolism. This phosphorylation of ribose to ribose-5-phosphate using ATP traps ribose within the cell after uptake and prepares the sugar for use in the synthesis of nucleotides and histidine, and for entry into the pentose phosphate pathway [[cite:PUB00030699]]. The rbsK gene encoding ribokinase typically is found with ribose transport genes [[cite:PUB00078860]]. This entry also includes bifunctional ribokinase/ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A from Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis.</p>

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
GO:0004747
Molecular function Ribokinase activity Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + D-ribose = ADP + D-ribose 5-phosphate.
Subterm of
GO:0006014
Biological process D-ribose metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving D-ribose (ribo-pentose). As beta-D-ribofuranose, D-ribose forms the glycose group of all ribonucleosides, ribonucleotides and ribonucleic acids, and also of ribose phosphates, various glycosides, some coenzymes and some forms of vitamin B12.
