DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modifications, with the nonbridging phosphate oxygen replaced by sulfur, governed by DndABCDE or SspABCD, are widely distributed in prokaryotes and have a highly unusual feature of occupying only a small portion of available consensus sequences in a genome. Despite the presence of plentiful non-PT-protected consensuses, DNA PT modification is still employed as a recognition tag by the restriction cognate, for example, DndFGH or SspE, to discriminate and destroy PT-lacking foreign DNA. This raises a fundamental question about how PT modifications are distributed along DNA molecules to keep the restriction components in check. Here, we present two single-molecule strategies that take advantage of the nucleophilicity of PT in combination with fluorescent markers for optical mapping of both single- and double-stranded PT modifications across individual DNA molecules. Surprisingly, PT profiles vary markedly from molecule to molecule, with different PT locations and spacing distances between PT pairs, even in the presence of DndFGH or SspE. The results revealed unprecedented PT modification features previously obscured by ensemble averaging, providing novel insights into the riddles regarding unusual target selection by PT modification and restriction components.
