Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: 2-[(3S)-amino-3-carboxypropyl]-L-histidyl-[translation elongation factor 2] + 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = diphthine-[translation elongation factor 2] + 3 H+ + 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. Source: PMID:3042777, RHEA:36415, PMID:15485916, PMID:20873788
Comment
This activity is present in archae and produces the trimethylated product diphthine, which is converted into diphthamide by diphthine-ammonia ligase activity ; GO:0017178 (EC:6.3.1.14). Note tha this is different from the eukaryotic enzyme diphthine methyl ester synthase activity ; GO:0141133 (EC:2.1.1.314), which produces diphthine methyl ester.
