Growing evidence shows that generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from antibiotic-induced metabolic perturbation contribute to antibiotic lethality. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms by which antibiotic-induced oxidative stress actually kills cells remains elusive. Here, we show that oxidation of dCTP underlies ROS-mediated antibiotic lethality via induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Deletion of mazG-encoded 5-OH-dCTP-specific pyrophosphohydrolase potentiates antibiotic killing of stationary-phase mycobacteria, but did not affect antibiotic efficacy in exponentially growing cultures. Critically, the effect of mazG deletion on potentiating antibiotic killing is associated with antibiotic-induced ROS and accumulation of 5-OH-dCTP. Independent lines of evidence presented here indicate that the increased level of DSBs observed in the Delta mazG mutant is a dead-end event accounting for enhanced antibiotic killing. Moreover, we provided genetic evidence that 5-OH-dCTP is incorporated into genomic DNA via error-prone DNA polymerase DnaE2 and repair of 5-OH-dC lesions via the endonuclease Nth leads to the generation of lethal DSBs. This work provides a mechanistic view of ROS-mediated antibiotic lethality in stationary phase and may have broad implications not only with respect to antibiotic lethality but also to the mechanism of stress-induced mutagenesis in bacteria.
