violaxanthin + L-ascorbate = antheraxanthin + L-dehydroascorbate + H2O
-
: first step of two-step reaction (see R10055, R07178+R07179)
: Along with EC 1.14.13.90, zeaxanthin epoxidase, this enzyme forms part of the xanthophyll (or violaxanthin) cycle for controlling the concentration of CPD1F-130 in chloroplasts. It is activated by a low pH of the thylakoid lumen (produced by high light intensity). Zeaxanthin induces the dissipation of excitation energy in the chlorophyll of the light-harvesting protein complex of photosystem II. In higher plants the enzyme reacts with all-trans-diepoxides, such as CPD1F-133, and all-trans-monoepoxides, but in the alga TAX-13608 only the diepoxides are good substrates.
