Supplementary information

Adenosine kinase (ADK) also known by its alternative name ATP:adenosine 5'-phosphotransferase is an enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to adenosine forming AMP. ADK is expressed in several tissues with significant presence in the liver brain and lungs. This distribution suggests its versatile role in organ-specific metabolism and regulatory processes.
Biological function summary

The enzyme modulates cellular adenosine levels which influences various physiological functions such as sleep regulation and immune responses. ADK does not operate as part of a larger protein complex but acts independently to maintain intracellular energy balance by regulating the pools of adenosine and AMP. The enzyme activity affects purine metabolism important in diverse cellular activities.

Pathways

The activity of adenosine kinase fits prominently into the purine metabolism and energy homeostasis pathways. Its function maintains the cellular concentrations of adenosine a nucleotide affecting cellular signaling pathways including the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. ADK interacts with enzymes like adenosine deaminase which collectively orchestrate the purine salvage pathway—pivotal in nucleotide recycling.

Irregularities in ADK function have implications in neurological disorders and liver diseases. Abnormal ADK activity links to epilepsy due to its role in controlling adenosine concentrations affecting neurotransmitter release. Liver diseases such as hepatic steatosis have shown associations with altered ADK function impacting energy balance. The interplay with proteins such as AMP-activated protein kinase indicates potential therapeutic targets in disorders where metabolic regulation is compromised.
