Abstract
The self-processing module (SPM) is an internal segment of the FrpC protein (P415-F591) secreted by the pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis during meningococcal infection of human upper respiratory tract. SPM mediates 'protein trans-splicing', a unique natural mechanism for editing of proteins, which involves a calcium-dependent autocatalytic cleavage of the peptide bond between D414 and P415 and covalent linkage of the cleaved fragment through its carboxy-terminal group of D414 to [Formula: see text]-amino group of lysine residue within a neighboring polypeptide chain. We present an NMR resonance assignment of the calcium-free SPM, which displays characteristic features of intrinsically disordered proteins. Non-uniformly sampled 5D HN(CA)CONH, 4D HCBCACON, and HCBCANCO spectra were recorded to resolve poorly dispersed resonance frequencies of the disordered protein and 91*% of SPM residues were unambiguously assigned. Analysis of the chemical shifts revealed that two regions of the intrinsically disordered SPM (A95-S101 and R120-I127) have a tendency to form a helical structure, whereas the residues P1-D7 and G36-A40 have the propensity to adopt a [Formula: see text]-structure.

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...

â??CON-CONâ?? assignment strategy for highly flexible intrinsically disordered proteins
â??CON-CONâ?? assignment strategy for highly flexible intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a class of highly flexible proteins whose characterization by NMR spectroscopy is complicated by severe spectral overlaps. The development of experiments designed to facilitate the sequence-specific assignment procedure is thus very important to improve the tools for the characterization of IDPs and thus to be able to focus on IDPs of increasing size and complexity. Here, we present and describe the...

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...

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...

MOTIVATION: Peptide and protein structures are determined daily using NMR spectroscopy. Assignment of the NMR spectra is an important step within the procedure and is usually the limiting one. Computer-aided assignment tools should be user friendly with open architecture to communicate with other programs...

HA-detected experiments for the backbone assignment of intrinsically disordered prote
Abstract We propose a new alpha proton detection based approach for the sequential assignment of natively unfolded proteins. The proposed protocol superimposes on following features: HA-detection (1) enables assignment of natively unfolded proteins at any pH, i.e., it is not sensitive to rapid chemical exchange undergoing in natively unfolded proteins even at moderately high pH. (2) It allows straightforward assignment of proline-rich polypeptides without additional proline-customized experiments. (3) It offers more streamlined and less ambiguous assignment based on solely intraresidual...
