While the enzymes for diphthamide synthesis are known, coordination of eEF2 synthesis with the diphthamide modification to maintain only modified eEF2 is unknown. Physical and genetic interactions extracted from BioGRID show a connection between diphthamide synthesis enzymes and chaperones in yeast.
