Gene Summary: Diphthamide is a unique posttranslationally modified histidine found only in translation elongation factor-2 (EEF2; MIM 130610). This modification is conserved from archaebacteria to humans and serves as the target for ADP-ribosylation and inactivation of EEF2 by diphtheria toxin (DT) and Pseudomonas exotoxin A. DPH4 is 1 of several enzymes involved in synthesis of diphthamide in EEF2 (Liu et al., 2004 [PubMed 15485916]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]. CCDS Note: This CCDS representation uses the 5'-most in-frame start codon, which is conserved in other species. An alternative downstream start codon, which has a stronger Kozak signal, also exists. It is possible that leaky scanning by ribosomes would allow the downstream start codon to be used, at least some of the time. The use of the downstream start codon would result in a protein that is 1 aa shorter at the N-terminus. There is no experimental evidence showing which start codon is preferentially used in vivo. ##Evidence-Data-START## Transcript exon combination :: DA659255.1, SRR3476690.655970.1 [ECO:0000332] RNAseq introns :: single sample supports all introns SAMEA1965299, SAMEA1966682 [ECO:0000348] ##Evidence-Data-END## ##RefSeq-Attributes-START## MANE Ensembl match :: ENST00000465995.6/ ENSP00000417548.1 RefSeq Select criteria :: based on single protein-coding transcript ##RefSeq-Attributes-END##
