DNA phosphorothioation (PT) exists in many pathogenic bacteria; however, the mechanism of PT-DNA resistance to the immune response is unclear. In this work, we meticulously investigated the peroxynitrite (PN) tolerance using PT-bioengineered E. coli strains. The in vivo experiment confirms that the S+ strain survives better than the S strain under moderately oxidative stress. The LCMS, IC, and GCMS experiments demonstrated that phosphorothioate partially converted to phosphate, and the byproduct included sulfate and elemental sulfur. When O,O-diethyl thiophosphate ester (DETP) was used, the reaction rate k(1) was determined to be 4.3 +/- 0.5 M-1 s(1) in the first-order for both phosphorothioate and peroxynitrite at 35 degrees C and pH of 8.0. The IC50 values of phosphorothioate dinucleotides are dramatically increased by 400700-fold compared to DETP. The SH/OH Yin-Yang mechanism rationalizes the in situ DNA self-defense against PN-mediated oxidative stress at the extra bioenergetic cost of DNA modification.
