It is the only known protein to contain the unusual amino acid hypusine [N (ε)- (4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)-lysine], which is synthesized on eIF5A at a specific lysine residue from the polyamine spermidine by two catalytic steps.[6]

EF-P is the prokaryotic homolog of eIF5A, which is also modified post-translationally in a similar but distinct way.[7][8] Both proteins are believed to catalyze peptide bond formation and help resolve ribosomal stalls, making them elongation factors.[9]
