Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins contain some residual structures, which may fold further upon binding to the partner protein for function. The residual structures observed in two intrinsically disordered proteins, including the C-terminal segment of peripherin-2 (63 residues) and measles virus nucleocapsid protein Ntail (125 residues), were compared using NMR. Differences in the chemical shifts of alpha-, beta- and carbonyl carbons between the observed structure and calculated random coil revealed the existence of a helix and some possible beta-structures in both proteins. The intensity of signals in the C-terminal segment of peripherin-2 in NMR spectra was informative and locally low, particularly in the middle and N-terminal parts: this suggested the broadening of the signals caused by the formation of residual structures in those areas. Furthermore, the protection of exchange of amide protons was significantly observed at the N-terminus. Conversely, the intensities of signals for Ntail were random beyond the overall areas of protein, and indicated no characteristic pattern. Only a faint protection of amide-proton exchange in Ntail was observed in the C-terminus. It was concluded that Ntail was more intrinsically disordered than the C-terminal segment of peripherin-2. The combination of chemical shifts with the amide-proton exchanges and signal intensities was useful for the analyses of the remaining secondary structures. The beta-structure might be more detectable by the protection of amide-proton exchange than the helical structure, although the changes in chemical shifts were sensitive for the detection of elements of both secondary structures.

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?˛ and 15N chemical shifts holds even in IDPs, we recently proposed two 13C-detected experiments to directly...

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...
