In enzymology, a NAD+-diphthamide ADP-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.36) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

NAD+ + peptide diphthamide nicotinamide + peptide N-(ADP-D-ribosyl)diphthamide

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are NAD+ and peptide diphthamide, whereas its two products are nicotinamide and peptide N-(ADP-D-ribosyl)diphthamide.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, to be specific, the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is NAD+:peptide-diphthamide N-(ADP-D-ribosyl)transferase. Other names in common use include ADP-ribosyltransferase, mono(ADPribosyl)transferase, and NAD-diphthamide ADP-ribosyltransferase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 15 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1S5B, 1S5C, 1S5D, 1S5E, 1S5F, 1SGK, 1TOX, 1XDT, 1XK9, 1ZM3, 1ZM4, 1ZM9, 2A5D, 2A5F, and 2A5G.
