DE   protodeoxyviolaceinate monooxygenase.
AN   protoviolaceinate synthase.
CA   (1) protodeoxyviolaceinate + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = protoviolaceinate +
CA   NADP(+) + H2O.
CA   (2) protodeoxyviolaceinate + NADH + O2 + H(+) = protoviolaceinate +
CA   NAD(+) + H2O.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Chromobacterium
CC       violaceum, participates in the biosynthesis of the violet pigment
CC       violacein.
CC   -!- The immediate product, protoviolaceinate, can be acted upon by
CC       EC 1.14.13.224, leading to violacein production.
CC   -!- However, it is very labile, and in the presence of oxygen can be
CC       converted to the shunt product proviolacein.
