| Type | PATHWAY |
| Description | Violacein is a purple bisindole toxin derived from a pair of tryptophan residues, made by bacteria that include Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472, Janthinobacterium lividum, and Pseudoalteromonas tunicata. The first two steps are shared with pathways for indolocarbazoles (rebeccamycin, staurosporine), but action by VioE at the third step produces protodeoxyviolaceinic acid, rather than allowing the non-enzymatic conversion to chromopyrrolic acid that occurs during staurosporine biosynthesis. VioE therefore is a good marker for the biosynthesis of violacein or closely related compounds. |
