Enzyme Information

1.14.13.217
Protodeoxyviolaceinate monooxygenase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9S3U8
Protodeoxyviolaceinate + NAD(P)H + O(2) = protoviolaceinate + NAD(P)(+) + H(2)O.
-!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, participates in the biosynthesis of the violet pigment violacein. -!- The immediate product, protoviolaceinate, can be acted upon by EC 1.14.13.224, leading to violacein production. -!- However, it is very labile, and in the presence of oxygen can be converted to the shunt product proviolacein.
