Abstract

In M13 phage display, proteins and peptides are exposed on one of the surface proteins of filamentous phage particles and become accessible to affinity enrichment against a bait of interest. We describe the construction of fragmented whole genome and gene fragment phage display libraries and interaction selection by panning. This strategy allows the identification and characterization of interacting proteins on a genomic scale by screening the fragmented “proteome” against protein baits. Gene fragment libraries allow a more in depth characterization of the protein–protein interaction site by identification of the protein region involved in the interaction.
