Diacylglyceride kinases, sphingosine kinases and NAD kinases: distant relatives of 6-phosphofructokinases.

Diacylglyceride kinases, sphingosine kinases, NAD kinases and 6-phosphofructokinases are thought to be related despite large evolution of their sequences. Discovery of a common signature has led to the suggestion that they possess a similar phosphate-donor-binding site and a similar phosphorylation mechanism. The substrate- and allosteric-binding sites are much more divergent and their delineation remains to be determined experimentally.
