Protodeoxyviolaceinate monooxygenase

Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.13 With NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor > 1.14.13.217 protodeoxyviolaceinate monooxygenase
Protodeoxyviolaceinate monooxygenase from Chromobacterium violaceum participates in biosynthesis of the violet pigment violacein. The product protoviolaceinate is very labile and in O2 undergoes non-enzymic autooxidation; violacein synthase (EC 1.14.13.224) can also act on it.
