Deinococcus radiodurans harbors a multipartite ploid genome system consisting of two chromosomes and two plasmids present in multiple copies. How these discrete genome elements are maintained and inherited is not well understood. PprA, a pleiotropic protein involved in radioresistance, has been characterized for its roles in DNA repair, genome segregation, and cell division in this bacterium. Here, we show that PprA regulates ploidy of chromosome I and II and inhibits the activity of drDnaA, the initiator protein in D. radiodur
