DE   violacein synthase.
AN   proviolaceinate monooxygenase.
CA   (1) protoviolaceinate + NADH + O2 + H(+) = violaceinate + NAD(+) + H2O.
CA   (2) protoviolaceinate + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = violaceinate + NADP(+) + H2O.
CA   (3) protodeoxyviolaceinate + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = deoxyviolaceinate +
CA   NADP(+) + H2O.
CA   (4) protodeoxyviolaceinate + NADH + O2 + H(+) = deoxyviolaceinate +
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 products, violaceinate and deoxyviolaceinate, undergo
CC       non-enzymic autooxidation into violacein and deoxyviolacein,
CC       respectively.
