Although yeast two-hybrid assay and biochemical methods combined with mass spectrometry have been successfully employed for the analyses of proteinprotein interactions in the field of proteomics, these methods encounter various difficulties arising from the usage of living cells, including inability to analyze toxic proteins and restriction of testable interaction conditions. Totally in vitro display technologies such as ribosome display and mRNA display are expected to circumvent these difficulties. In this study, we applied an mRNA display technique to screening for interactions of a basic leucine zipper domain of Jun protein in a mouse brain cDNA library. By performing iterative affinity selection and sequence analyses, we selected 16 novel Jun-associated protein candidates in addition to four known interactors. By means of real-time PCR and pull-down assay, 10 of the 16 newly discovered candidates were confirmed to be direct interactors with Jun in vitro. Furthermore, interaction of 6 of the 10 proteins with Jun was observed in cultured cells by means of co-immunoprecipitation and observation of subcellular localization. These results demonstrate that this in vitro display technology is effective for the discovery of novel proteinprotein interactions and can contribute to the comprehensive mapping of proteinprotein interactions.
