Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are often mediated by short linear motifs (SLiMs) in one protein and domain in another, known as domain-motif interactions (DMIs). During the past decade, SLiMs have been studied to find their role in cellular functions such as post-translational modifications, regulatory processes, protein scaffolding, cell cycle progression, cell adhesion, cell signalling and substrate selection for proteasomal degradation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current PPI detection techniques and resources, focusing on their relevance to capturing interactions mediated by SLiMs. We also address the challenges associated with capturing DMIs. Moreover, a case study analysing the BioGrid database as a source of DMI prediction revealed significant known DMI enrichment in different PPI detection methods. Overall, it can be said that current high-throughput PPI detection methods can be a reliable source for predicting DMIs.
