Abstract

Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are a unique and ubiquitous class of protein interaction modules that perform key regulatory functions and drive dynamic complex formation. For decades, interactions mediated by SLiMs have accumulated through detailed low-throughput experiments. Recent methodological advances have opened this previously underexplored area of the human interactome to high-throughput protein-protein interaction discovery. In this article, we discuss that SLiM-based interactions represent a significant blind spot in the current interactomics data, introduce the key methods that are illuminating the elusive SLiM-mediated interactome of the human cell on a large scale, and discuss the implications for the field.
