ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.1.14

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.3.1.14
Accepted Name
diphthine--ammonia ligase
Alternative Name(s)
diphthamide synthase
diphthamide synthetase
Reaction catalysed
diphthine-[translation elongation factor 2] + NH4(+) + ATP = diphthamide-[translation elongation factor 2] + AMP + diphosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • This amidase catalyzes the last step in the conversion of an L-histidine residue in the translation elongation factor translation elongation factor 2 to diphthamide.
  • This factor is found in all archaebacteria and eukaryotes, but not in eubacteria, and is the target of bacterial toxins such as the diphtheria toxin and the Pseudomonas exotoxin A (see EC 2.4.2.36).
  • The substrate of the enzyme, diphthine, is produced by EC 2.1.1.98.
  • Formerly EC 6.3.2.22.
