Diphthamide is a post-translationally modified histidine amino acid found in archaeal and eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2).
Structure
Diphthamide is proposed to be a 2-[3-carboxyamido-3-(trimethylammonio)propyl histidine. Though this structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography, its stereochemistry is uncertain.[1]
Biological function
Diphthamide ensures translation fidelity.[2]
The presence or absence of diphthamide is known to affect NF-κB or death receptor pathways.[3]
Biosynthesis
Diphthamide is biosynthesized from histidine and S-adenosyl methionine.[2]
