Diphthine methyl ester synthase is the eukaryotic enzyme that installs four methyl groups on the diphthine precursor of elongation factor 2, producing diphthine methyl ester; unlike the archaeal EC 2.1.1.98 it carries out four rather than three methylations at the conserved histidine (His715 in mammals, His699 in yeast).
