D. radiodurans ΔpprA (GY12251) and pprA::HA (GY14615) bacteria were either exposed or not to gamma irradiation (3.8 kGy) and allowed to recover in fresh medium for 110 min prior to performing a coimmunoprecipitation with anti-HA antibodies. Immunoprecipitated materials were analyzed by mass spectrometry (see Table S1 in the supplemental material). The comparison between PprA-HA samples exposed to gamma irradiation (3.8 kGy, five replicates) and nonirradiated samples (0 kGy, four replicates) was performed with the Tfold module. The comparison between gamma-irradiated samples (3.8 kGy) of the strain expressing PprA::HA (five replicates) and the pprA deletion mutant (two replicates) was performed with the ACfold module using the AC test described in Audic and Claverie (66). The eight proteins detected by shotgun proteomics with a >twofold increase after irradiation (comparison 1) and with a >twofold decrease after deletion of pprA (comparison 2) are listed.
