ATP dependent phosphorylation of adenosine and other related nucleoside analogs to monophosphate derivatives. ADO1 does not play a major role in adenine utilization in yeast. Its physiological role could primarily be to recycle adenosine produced by the methyl cycle. adenosine + ATP = ADP + AMP + H(+) Purine metabolism; AMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; AMP from adenosine: step 1/1. Results in a severe reduction of adenosine kinase activity. Present with 22200 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. Belongs to the carbohydrate kinase PfkB family.
