| Function |
Multifunctional enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the indole-derived phytoalexin camalexin. Catalyzes two reactions, the formation of dihydrocamalexate from indole-3-acetonitrile- cysteine conjugate and the oxidative decarboxylation of dihydrocamalexate which is the final step in camalexin biosynthesis. Required for the resistance to the fungal pathogens A.brassicicola, B.cinerea, B.elliptica, B.tulipae, L.maculans and Colletotrichum higginsianum. Seems not to be required for resistance to P.syringae, P.porri, and not involved in age-related resistance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10476063, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10590168, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11722772, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884688, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12848825, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14675428, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16766671, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17384165, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17573535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18567828, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19154205, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19567706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20507477, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8090752}.
