DE   2-dehydro-3-deoxyglucono/galactono-kinase.
AN   2-keto-3-deoxy-D-gluconate kinase.
AN   KDG kinase.
CA   (1) 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + ATP = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phospho-D-
CA   gluconate + ADP + H(+).
CA   (2) 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate + ATP = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phospho-
CA   D-galactonate + ADP + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme from the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus is involved in
CC       glucose and galactose catabolism via the branched variant of the
CC       Entner-Doudoroff pathway.
CC   -!- It phosphorylates 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and 2-dehydro-3-
CC       deoxy-D-galactonate with similar catalytic efficiency. cf.
CC       EC 2.7.1.45 and EC 2.7.1.58.
