General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | failure to synthesize diphthamide affects the accuracy of protein synthesis, DPH6 and DPH7 deletions cause phenotypes typical of bona fide diphthamide mutants, diphthine accumulation in dph6 and dph7 mutants, overview | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
metabolism | the enzyme catalyzes the last pathway step, amidation of the intermediate diphthine to diphthamide biosynthesis | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
additional information | Dph7, i.e. YBR246w, apparently couples diphthine synthase to diphthine amidation. Dph6 and Dph7 are components required for the amidation step of the diphthamide pathway. In contrast to Dph6, Dph7 may be regulatory. DPH6 and DPH7 are novel sordarin effectors, a feature they share with the diphthamide synthesis genes DPH1-DPH5 | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
physiological function | the enzyme, encoded by gene dph6, catalyzes the biosynthesis of diphthamide, which is a highly modified histidine residue in eukaryal translation elongation factor 2 that is the target for irreversible ADP-ribosylation by diphtheria toxin | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
