DE   camalexin synthase.
AN   bifunctional dihydrocamalexate synthase/camalexin synthase.
AN   CYP71B15.
CA   2-(L-cystein-S-yl)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-acetonitrile + 2 O2 + 2 reduced
CA   [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = camalexin + CO2 + 2 H(+) + 4 H2O +
CA   hydrogen cyanide + 2 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase].
CC   -!- This P450 enzyme, which has been characterized from the plant
CC       Arabidopsis thaliana, catalyzes the last two steps in the
CC       biosynthesis of camalexin, the main phytoalexin in that plant.
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes two successive oxidation events.
CC   -!- During the first of oxidation the enzyme introduces a C-N double
CC       bond, liberating hydrogen cyanide, and during the second oxidation it
CC       catalyzes a decarboxylation.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.3.1.n2.
