The increasingly recognized biological relevance of intrinsically disordered proteins requires a continuous expansion of the tools for their characterization via NMR spectroscopy, the only technique so far able to provide atomic-resolution information on these highly mobile macromolecules. Here we present the implementation of projection spectroscopy in 13C-direct detected NMR experiments to achieve the sequence specific assignment of IDPs. The approach was used to obtain the complete backbone assignment at high temperature of α-synuclein, a paradigmatic intrinsically disordered protein.

HN-NCA heteronuclear TOCSY-NH experiment for 1 H N and 15 N sequential correlations in ( 13 C, 15 N) labelled intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
A simple triple resonance NMR experiment that leads to the correlation of the backbone amide resonances of each amino acid residue â??iâ?? with that of residues â??iâ??1â?? and â??i+1â?? in (13C, 15N) labelled intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is presented. The experimental scheme, {HN-NCA heteronuclear TOCSY-NH}, exploits the favourable relaxation properties of IDPs and the presence of 1 ...

Abstract
An efficient approach to NMR assignments in intrinsically disordered proteins is presented, making use of the good dispersion of cross peaks observed in - and -correlation spectra. The method involves the simultaneous collection of {3D (H)NCO(CAN)H and 3D...
A six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based APSY experiment for backbone assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
A six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based APSY experiment for backbone assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
Sequence specific resonance assignment is the prerequisite for the NMR-based analysis of the conformational ensembles and their underlying dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. However, rapid solvent exchange in intrinsically disordered proteins often complicates assignment strategies based on HN-detection. Here we present a six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based automated projection spectroscopy (APSY)...

New 13C-detected experiments for the assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
New 13C-detected experiments for the assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
NMR assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) by conventional HN-detected methods is hampered by the small dispersion of the amide protons chemical shifts and exchange broadening of amide proton signals. Therefore several alternative assignment strategies have been proposed in the last years. Attempting to seize that dispersion of 13Câ?² and 15N chemical shifts holds even in IDPs, we recently proposed two 13C-detected experiments to directly...

We describe a new efficient strategy for the sequential assignment of amide resonances of a conventional 15N-1H HSQC spectrum of intrinsically unfolded proteins, based on composite NOESY-TOCSY and TOCSY-NOESY mixing times. These composite mixing times lead to a...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not adopt stable three-dimensional structures in physiological conditions, yet these proteins play crucial roles in biological phenomena. In most cases, intrinsic disorder manifests itself in segments or domains of an IDP, called intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but fully disordered IDPs also exist. Although IDRs can be detected as...

4D Non-uniformly sampled HCBCACON and 1J(NCα)-selective HCBCANCO experiments for the sequential assignment and chemical shift analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
4D Non-uniformly sampled HCBCACON and 1J(NCα)-selective HCBCANCO experiments for the sequential assignment and chemical shift analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract A pair of 4D NMR experiments for the backbone assignment of disordered proteins is presented. The experiments exploit 13C direct detection and non-uniform sampling of the indirectly detected dimensions, and provide correlations of the aliphatic proton (Hα, and Hβ) and carbon (Cα, Cβ) resonance frequencies to the protein backbone. Thus, all the chemical shifts regularly used to map the transient...
