??? I'm not sure that a SINGLE enzyme can do this -- phosphotransferase enzymes typically are not also oxidoreductases. The CLASSICAL example of precisely what you want to do is to use two sequential steps of glycolysis, namely the two-enzyme system of GAPDH+PGK, which together convert GA3P + Pi + ADP + NAD(P)H <==> 3-PGA + ATP + NAD(P)+.  The two enzymes are glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase, and the reactants are glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GA3P) and 3-phosphoglycerate 
(3PGA). GAPDH catalyzes substrate-level phosphorylation of GA3P + Pi + NAD(P)H <==> 1,3-BPG (1,3-bisphosphoglycerate) + NAD(P)+, and PGK converts 1,3-BPG + ADP ==> 3-PGA + ATP. 
GAPDH from animal cytoplasm is (usually) strictly NADH-dependent, whereas chloroplast GAPDH is strictly dependent upon NADPH.
