Sphinganine-Like Biogenesis of (E)-1-Nitropentadec-1-ene in Termite Soldiers of the Genus Prorhinotermes
Original language description
In 1974, (E)-1-nitropentadec-1-ene, a strong lipophilic contact poison of soldiers of the termite genus Prorhinotermes, was the first-described insect-produced nitro compound. However, its biosynthesis remained unknown. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that (E)-1-nitropentadec-1-ene biosynthesis originates with condensation of amino acids with tetradecanoic acid. By using in vivo experiments with radiolabeled and deuterium-labeled putative precursors, we show that (E)-1-nitropentadec-1-eneis synthesized by the soldiers from glycine or L-serine and tetradecanoic acid. We propose and discuss three possible biosynthetic pathways.
