Reaction: ATP + 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl phosphate = ADP + 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate

Systematic name: ATP:3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl-phosphate phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the mevalonate pathway in Archaea [1]. The activity has also been identified in the plant Mentha piperita (peppermint) [2]. It is strictly specific for ATP but can use other phosphate acceptors such as dimethylallyl phosphate, geranyl phosphate, or fosfomycin.
