Abstract

Traditionally, library screening has been performed to identify biologically active agents including small molecules or peptides that inhibit target proteins or molecules with therapeutic interests. Due to its chemical nature, library screening is usually performed under in vitro environments using purified proteins and molecules. However, active agents identified from in vitro screenings often fail to exhibit biological activities in cells. To overcome this inherent limitation, we have developed an in vivo peptide library screening system that allows for the identification of dissociative inhibitors of protein interactions of interest. The screening is based on the reconstitution of the cI repressor from bacteriophage lambda with high-density expression peptide library and is entirely performed in bacteria cells. Furthermore, to enhance the efficacy and sensitivity of the screening, a multiple-round biopanning approach was employed for amplification and enrichment of positive peptides. Overall, this in vivo screening should provide a fast and efficient tool for identification of biologically active peptide molecules against target protein assembly.
