Background Descriptions | OVCA1 is required for the first step in the synthesis of diphthamide, 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. OVCA1 is one of several enzymes involved in synthesis of diphthamide in EEF2. |

Name | DPH1 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:26220823} |
---|---|
Function | Catalyzes the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis, a post- translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2 (PubMed:30877278). DPH1 and DPH2 transfer a 3-amino-3- carboxypropyl (ACP) group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to a histidine residue, the reaction is assisted by a reduction system comprising DPH3 and a NADH-dependent reductase (By similarity). Acts as a tumor suppressor (PubMed:10519411). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Punctate, primarily perinuclear localization. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, mammary gland, colon, small intestine, testis and ovary. Reduced expression in primary breast and ovarian tumors. |
