Accepted name: | violacein synthase | ||||
Reaction: | (1) protoviolaceinate + NAD(P)H + O2 = violaceinate + NAD(P)+ + H2O (2) protodeoxyviolaceinate + NAD(P)H + O2 = deoxyviolaceinate + NAD(P)+ + H2O |

Glossary: | violacein = (3E)-3-[5-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-ylidene]-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one | ||||
Other name(s): | proviolaceinate monooxygenase; vioC (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | protoviolaceinate,NAD(P)H:O2 oxidoreductase | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, participates in the biosynthesis of the violet pigment violacein. The products, violaceinate and deoxyviolaceinate, undergo non-enzymic autooxidation into violacein and deoxyviolacein, respectively. | ||||
