In vitro analysis of phosphorothioate modification of DNA reveals substrate recognition by a multiprotein complex

A wide variety of prokaryotes possess DNA modifications consisting of sequence-specific phosphorothioates (PT) inserted by members of a five-gene cluster. Recent genome mapping studies revealed two unusual features of PT modifications: short consensus sequences and partial modification of a specific...
