Production of nitro compounds has only seldom been recorded in arthropods.
The aliphatic nitroalkene (E)-nitropentadec-1-ene (NPD), identified in
soldiers of the termite genus Prorhinotermes, was the first case
documented in insects in early seventies. Yet, the biosynthetic origin of
NPD has long remained unknown. We previously proposed that NPD arises
through the condensation of amino acids glycine and/or l-serine with
tetradecanoic acid along a biosynthetic pathway analogous to the formation
of sphingolipids. Here, we provide a metabolomics and transcriptomic data
of the Prorhinotermes simplex termite workers and soldiers. Data are
related to NPD biosynthesis in P. simplex soldiers. Original metabolomics
data were deposited in MetaboLights metabolomics database and are become
publicly available after publishing the original article. Additionally,
chemical synthesis of biosynthetic intermediates of NPD in nonlabeled and
stable labeled forms are reported. Data extend our poor knowledge of
arthropod metabolome and transcriptome and would be useful for comparative
study in termites or other arthropods. The data were used for
de-replication of NPD biosynthesis and published separately (Jirošová et
al., 2017).
