RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have revealed a nitric oxide (NO) metabolic cycle in which NO, nitrate (NO3-), and nitrite (NO2-) circulate. The NO produced in this cycle serves as a signalling molecule that regulates actinorhodin (ACT) production via the DevS/DevR NO-dependent two-component system (TCS) in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) M145. However, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of NO signalling in S. coelicolor have not yet been elucidated. Mycothiol (MSH), a thiol molecule produced by Actinomyces, is involved in the defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. Therefore, this study focused on the correlation between intracellular NO and MSH levels. RESULTS: To investigate the interaction of MSH with endogenously produced NO, we generated an S. coelicolor A3(2) strain deficient in MSH biosynthesis. This mutant strain exhibited a decrease in low-molecular-weight S-nitrosothiols and intracellular NO levels during culture compared to those of the wild-type strain. Moreover, the mutant strain exhibited reduced activity of the DevS/DevR TCS, a regulator of NO homeostasis and ACT production, from the early stage of culture, along with a decrease in ACT production compared to those of the wild-type strain. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that MSH maintains intracellular NO homeostasis by forming S-nitrosomycothiol, which induces NO signalling. Finally, we propose a metabolic model in which MSH from endogenously produced NO facilitates the maintenance of both NO homeostasis and signalling in S. coelicolor A3(2) M145.

The copper-mediated direct arylation of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles with aryl iodides proceeds efficiently in the presence of suitable ligands and bases. This method allows the installation of a variety of aryl moieties bearing a functional group such as ketone, ester, or nitrile so as to enable the facile construction of various functionalized oxadiazole and triazole core pi systems.
