ENTRY       EC 2.7.2.7
NAME        Butyrate kinase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring phosphorus-containing groups
            Phosphotransferases with a carboxyl group as acceptor
SYSNAME     ATP:butyrate 1-phosphotransferase
REACTION    ATP + Butanoate = ADP + Butanoyl phosphate
SUBSTRATE   ATP
            Butanoate
PRODUCT     ADP
            Butanoyl phosphate
COMMENT     The enzyme from Clostridium sp. also acts, more slowly, on
            pentanoate and propanoate, and on some branched-chain fatty acids
            (cf. EC 2.7.1.14).
PATHWAY     PATH: MAP00650  Butanoate metabolism
MOTIF       PS: PS01075  [LIVM](2)-x-[LIVM]-N-x-G-S-[ST]-S-x-K
            PS: PS01076  [LIVMA](2)-x(2)-H-x-G-x-G-x-S-[LIVM]-x-[AV]-x(3)-G
