Proteome-scale mapping of binding sites in the unstructured regions of the human proteome.

ABSTRACT: Specific protein-protein interactions are central to all processes that underlie cell physiology. Numerous studies have together identified hundreds of thousands of human protein-protein interactions. However, many interactions remain to be discovered, and low affinity, conditional, and cell type-specific interactions are likely to be disproportionately underrepresented. Here, we describe an optimized proteomic peptide-phage display library that tiles all disordered regions of the human proteome and allows the screening of ~ 1,000,000 overlapping peptides in a single binding assay. We define guidelines for processing, filtering, and ranking the results and provide PepTools, a toolkit to annotate the identified hits. We uncovered >2,000 interaction pairs for 35 known short linear motif (SLi
