General Information
Term protein histidyl modification to diphthamide ID (Ontology) GO:0017183 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The modification of peptidyl-histidine to 2'-(3-carboxamido-3-(trimethylammonio)propyl)-L-histidine, known as diphthamide, found in translation elongation factor EF-2. The process occurs in eukaryotes and archaea but not eubacteria.[ PubMed:20559380 ]
Also Known As "peptidyl-diphthamide anabolism from peptidyl-histidine" ; "peptidyl-diphthamide biosynthetic process from peptidyl-histidine" ; "peptidyl-diphthamide formation from peptidyl-histidine" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
