DE   17,18-epoxy-17-hydroxycur-19-ene N-malonyltransferase.
CA   17,18-epoxy-17-hydroxycur-19-ene + malonyl-CoA = prestrychnine + CoA.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the tree Strychnos nux-vomica,
CC       catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of strychnine.
CC   -!- The product, prestrychnine, undergoes a slow spontaneous
CC       decarboxylation and cyclization, forming strychnine.
