ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.13.224

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.13.224
Accepted Name
violacein synthase
Alternative Name(s)
proviolaceinate monooxygenase
Reaction catalysed
  • protoviolaceinate + NADH + O2 + H(+) = violaceinate + NAD(+) + H2O
  • protoviolaceinate + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = violaceinate + NADP(+) + H2O
  • protodeoxyviolaceinate + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = deoxyviolaceinate + NADP(+) + H2O
  • protodeoxyviolaceinate + NADH + O2 + H(+) = deoxyviolaceinate + NAD(+) + H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, participates in the biosynthesis of the violet pigment violacein.
  • The immediate products, violaceinate and deoxyviolaceinate, undergo non-enzymic autooxidation into violacein and deoxyviolacein, respectively.
