EC 1.14.13.217 Details
EC number
1.14.13.217
Accepted name
protodeoxyviolaceinate monooxygenase
Reaction
protodeoxyviolaceinate + NAD(P)H + O2 = protoviolaceinate + NAD(P)+ + H2O
Other name(s)
vioD (gene name), protoviolaceinate synthase
Systematic name
protodeoxyviolaceinate,NAD(P)H:O2 oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, participates in the biosynthesis of the violet pigment violacein. The product, protoviolaceinate, can be acted upon by EC 1.14.13.224, violacein synthase, leading to violacein production. However, it is very labile, and in the presence of oxygen can undergo non-enzymic autooxidation to the shunt product proviolacein.
