gene geneOn this page
Summary
DPH2 (diphthamide biosynthesis 2, HGNC:3004) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p34.1, encoding 2-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)histidine synthase subunit 2 (Q9BQC3). Required for the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 20.4% of cell lines).
This gene is one of two human genes similar to the yeast gene dph2. The yeast gene was identified by its ability to complement a diphthamide mutant strain, and thus probably functions in diphthamide biosynthesis. Diphthamide is a post-translationally modified histidine residue present in elongation factor 2 (EF2) that is the target of diphtheria toxin ADP-ribosylation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Required for the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2. 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. Facilitates the reduction of the catalytic iron-sulfur cluster found in the DPH1 subunit.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the 2-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)histidine synthase complex composed of DPH1, DPH2, DPH3 and a NADH-dependent reductase. Interacts with DPH1.
Tissue specificity. Strongly expressed in skeletal muscle. Moderately expressed in heart, small intestine, liver, pancreas, testis and colon. Weakly expressed in brain, placenta, kidney, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary and lymphocytes.
Disease relevance. Developmental delay with short stature, dysmorphic facial features, and sparse hair 2 (DEDSSH2) [MIM:620062] An autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by developmental delay with variably impaired intellectual development and speech delay, short stature, abnormal head circumference, dysmorphic facial features, and sparse scalp hair. Affected individuals may have other abnormalities, including congenital cardiac defects and distal skeletal anomalies. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per subunit. The cluster facilitates the reduction of the catalytic iron-sulfur cluster in the DPH1 subunit.
Pathway. Protein modification; peptidyl-diphthamide biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the DPH1/DPH2 family. DPH2 subfamily.
