Hypusine is formed by the transfer of the butylamine portion from spermidine to the epsilon-amino group of a specific lysine residue of eIF-5A precursor and the subsequent hydroxylation at carbon 2 of the incoming 4-aminobutyl moiety.

The biosynthesis of hypusine [Nepsilon-(4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl)-lysine] occurs in the eIF-5A precursor protein through two step posttranslational modification involving deoxyhypusine synthase which catalyzes transfer of the butylamine moiety of spermidine to the epsilon-amino group of a designated lysine residue and subsequent hydroxylation of this intermediate.

Deoxyhypusine synthase catalyses the NAD-dependent transfer of the butylamine moiety from the polyamine, spermidine, to a specific lysine residue of a single cellular protein, eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) precursor.
