Gianni Cesareni -
A substantial fraction of the protein network is based on interactions mediated by small protein recognition modules binding to short peptides in the partner proteins. However, the number of interactions mediated by each domain and the degree of promiscuity at a whole proteome level has not been investigated. Most of these interactions are transient and cannot be easily detected by co-purification experiments.

I will describe strategies to reliably detect these interactions on a genomic scale We have used a combination of phage display and positionally addressed peptide synthesis (PepSPOT) to screen all the peptides in the yeast proteome for their potential to bind several different SH3 domains.The same approach, that we have named WISE (Whole Interactome Scanning Experiment), was exploited to screen all the phosphopeptides in the yeast proteome for their ability to bind the two isophorms of the yeast 14-3-3 proteins.
