FUNCTION: Essential for the first step in the synthesis of diphthamide, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2 (EEF2) and which can be ADP-ribosylated by diphtheria toxin and by Pseudomonas exotoxin A (Eta). {ECO:0000250}.; FUNCTION: Down-regulation increa...FUNCTION: Essential for the first step in the synthesis of diphthamide, a post-translational modification of histidine which occurs in elongation factor 2 (EEF2) and which can be ADP-ribosylated by diphtheria toxin and by Pseudomonas exotoxin A (Eta). {ECO:0000250}.; FUNCTION: Down-regulation increases extracellular release of proteoglycans, indicating a possible role in the secretion process. Stimulates binding of GNEFR to SEC5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14527407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14980502}.View more >>
