Protein-protein interactions occur via well-defined interfaces on the protein surface. Whereas the location of homologous interfaces is conserved, their composition varies, suggesting that multiple solutions may support high-affinity binding. In this study, we examined the plasticity of the interface of TEM1 beta-lactamase with its protein inhibitor BLIP by low-stringency selection of a random TEM1 library using yeast surface display. Our results show that most interfacial residues could be mutated without a loss in binding affinity, protein stability, or enzymatic activity, suggesting plasticity in the interface composition supporting high-affinity binding. Interestingly, many of the selected mutations promoted faster association. Further selection for faster binders was achieved by drastically decreasing the libraryligand incubation time to 30 s. Preequilibrium selection as suggested here is a novel methodology for specifically selecting faster-associating protein complexes.
