DE   violacein synthase.
AN   proviolaceinate monooxygenase.
CA   (1) H(+) + NADH + O2 + protoviolaceinate = H2O + NAD(+) + violaceinate.
CA   (2) H(+) + NADPH + O2 + protoviolaceinate = H2O + NADP(+) + violaceinate.
CA   (3) H(+) + NADPH + O2 + protodeoxyviolaceinate = deoxyviolaceinate +
CA   H2O + NADP(+).
CA   (4) H(+) + NADH + O2 + protodeoxyviolaceinate = deoxyviolaceinate + H2O +
CA   NAD(+).
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.
