Oxidation of phosphorothioate DNA modifications leads to lethal genomic instability

Oxidation of phosphorothioate DNA modifications leads to lethal genomic instability

Genomic modification by sulfur in the form of phosphorothioate (PT) is widespread among prokaryotes, including human pathogens. Apart from its physiological functions, PT sulfur has redox and nucleophilic properties that suggest effects on bacterial fitness in stressful environments. Here we show th...
