| Synonyms |
ATP:CMP phosphotransferase, bacterial cytidylate kinase, CMK, CMP kinase, CMPK, cytidine 5¡¯-monophosphate kinase, cytidine monophosphate kinase, cytidylate kinase, dCMP kinase, deoxycytidine monophosphate kinase, deoxycytidine monophosphokinase, deoxycytidylate kinase, More, P25 protein, prokaryotic cytidylate kinase, SP1603, UCK, UMP-CMP kinase |
| Comments |
The prokaryotic cytidine monophosphate kinase specifically phosphorylates CMP (or dCMP), using ATP as the preferred phosphoryl donor. Unlike EC?2.7.4.14, a eukaryotic enzyme that phosphorylates UMP and CMP with similar efficiency, the prokaryotic enzyme phosphorylates UMP with very low rates, and this function is catalysed in prokaryotes by EC?2.7.4.22, UMP kinase. The enzyme phosphorylates dCMP nearly as well as it does CMP [1]. |
