Liu et al. identify catalase as a target of S-nitrosylation by GSNOR and the specific sites of S-nitrosylation critical for its role in regulating secondary metabolite production in Ganoderma lucidum under heat stress. This study suggests that GSNOR regulates other metabolic pathways in microorganisms through S-nitrosylation of target proteins in response to environmental changes.
