== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q8PW39_METMA Q8PW39_METMA] Catalyzes the phosphorylation of (R)-mevalonate (MVA) to (R)-mevalonate 5-phosphate (MVAP). Functions in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway leading to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a key precursor for the biosynthesis of isoprenoid compounds such as archaeal membrane lipids.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00217]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Mevalonate kinase (MVK), which plays an important role in catalysing the biosynthesis of isoprenoid compounds derived from the mevalonate pathway, transforms mevalonate to 5-phosphomevalonate using ATP as a cofactor. Mevalonate kinase from Methanosarcina mazei (MmMVK) was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized for structural analysis. Diffraction-quality crystals of MmMVK were obtained by the vapour-diffusion method using 0.32 M MgCl(2), 0.08 M bis-tris pH 5.5, 16%(w/v) PEG 3350. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 97.11, b = 135.92, c = 46.03 A. Diffraction data were collected to 2.08 A resolution.
