SUPPLEMENTARY DISCUSSION The applied Hi3 approach relies mainly on the assumption that the average intensity of the three most abundant peptides correlates with the abundance of the corresponding protein [1]. However, the ionization properties of specific peptides may influence the corresponding signal intensity during the mass spectrometric measurement. This may interfere with subsequent calculations of the absolute quantity of proteins. Moreover, a critical evaluation of the data provided by Silva et al. [1] suggest that the reproducibility of the quantification might be lower in proteins with low abundance and small size. In order to validate the absolute quantification of proteins, Silva et al. [1] determined the stoichiometry of Escherichia coli proteins belonging to selected wellcharacterized protein complexes. Accordingly, we calculated the stoichiometry of representative Pseudomonas aeruginosa protein complexes (i.e. ATP synthase F1 and soluble part of the succinate dehydrogenase) as well as of the chaperonins GroEL and GroES (Tab. D1) based on the Hi3-quantification. Our results correlate with the stoichiometry of corresponding and well-characterized E. coli protein complexes / proteins from the literature [2, 3, 4] providing strong evidence that our quantification is valid. According to Silva et al. [1] the quantification of low abundant or small proteins might be less precise. In order to test whether these limitations also apply to our dataset, the reproducibility of quantitative values of biological replicates was related to the protein amount and size. Indeed, low abundant proteins (< 4 fmol/µg) exhibited on average a RSD of 21% whereas the RSD of more abundant proteins (> 4 fmol/µg) was significantly lower (13% on average, Fig. D1). Therefore, we decided to exclude lower abundant proteins (< 4 fmol/µg) from our analysis in order to increase robustness and validity of the presented dataset. Interestingly, the quantification of proteins shorter than 100 amino acids (RSD: 14%) was found to be as reproducible as the quantification of proteins longer than 100 amino acids (RSD: 13%) (Fig. D2). Table D1: Stoichiometry of protein complexes / proteins selected from the P. aeruginosa PAO1 dataset. Stoichiometry calculated employing absolute quantitative data was compared to published stoichiometric data of these protein complexes / proteins in E. coli.

Biological replicates of P. aeruginosa PAO1 were used for analysis. Figure D2: Reproducibility of protein quantification seems independent of protein size. Proteins longer than 100 amino acids (A) can be quantified as reproducible as proteins shorter than 100 amino acids (B). Biological replicates of P. aeruginosa PAO1 were used for analysis.
