Interactions of Dnd Proteins involved in bacterial DNA phosphorothioate modification

DNA phosphorothioation (PT) is the first discovered physiological DNA backbone modification, in which a non-bridging oxygen atom of the phosphodiester bond is replaced with a sulfur atom in Rp (Rectus for plane) configuration. PT modification is governed by a highly conserved gene cluster dndA/IscS-...
