abstract = {Intrinsically disordered proteins dynamically sample a wide
conformational space and therefore do not adopt a stable and
defined three-dimensional conformation. The structural
heterogeneity is related to their proper functioning in
physiological processes. Knowledge of the conformational
ensemble is crucial for a complete comprehension of this
kind of proteins. We here present an approach that utilizes
dynamic nuclear polarization-enhanced solid-state NMR
spectroscopy of sparsely isotope-labeled proteins in frozen
solution to take snapshots of the complete structural
ensembles by exploiting the inhomogeneously broadened
line-shapes. We investigated the intrinsically disordered
protein α-synuclein (α-syn), which plays a key role in the
etiology of Parkinson’s disease, in three different
physiologically relevant states. For the free monomer in
frozen solution we could see that the so-called “random
coil conformation” consists of α-helical and
β-sheet-like conformations, and that secondary chemical
shifts of neighboring amino acids tend to be correlated,
indicative of frequent formation of secondary structure
elements. Based on these results, we could estimate the
number of disordered regions in fibrillar α-syn as well as
in α-syn bound to membranes in different protein-to-lipid
ratios. Our approach thus provides quantitative information
on the propensity to sample transient secondary structures
in different functional states. Molecular dynamics
simulations rationalize the results.},
