EC 1.14.13.224 Details
EC number
1.14.13.224
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
Other name(s)
proviolaceinate monooxygenase, vioC (gene name)
Systematic name
protoviolaceinate,NAD(P)H:O2 oxidoreductase
Comment
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.
