ID   2.7.1.185
DE   mevalonate 3-kinase.
CA   (R)-mevalonate + ATP = (R)-3-phosphomevalonate + ADP + H(+).
CC   -!- Mevalonate 3-kinase and EC 2.7.1.186 act sequentially in an alternate
CC       mevalonate pathway in the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum.
CC   -!- Mevalonate 3-kinase is different from EC 2.7.1.36, which transfers
CC       phosphate to position 5 of (R)-mevalonate and is part of the
CC       classical mevalonate pathway in eukaryotes and archaea.
