Proline is prevalent in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). NMR assignment of proline-rich IDPs is a challenge due to low dispersion of chemical shifts. We propose here new sensitivity-enhanced 4D NMR experiments that correlate two pairs of amide resonances that are either consecutive (NHi-1, NHi) or flanking a proline at position i-1 (NHi-2, NHi). The maximum 2-fold enhancement of sensitivity is achieved by employing two coherence order-selective (COS) transfers incorporated unconventionally into the pulse sequence. Each COS transfer confers an enhancement over amplitude-modulated transfer by a factor of root 2 specifically when transverse relaxation is slow. The experiments connect amide resonances over a long fragment of sequence interspersed with proline. When this method was applied to the proline-rich region of B cell adaptor protein SLP-65 (pH 6.0) and alpha-synuclein (pH 7.4), which contain a total of 52 and 5 prolines, respectively, 99% and 92% of their nonprolyl amide resonances have been successfully assigned, demonstrating its robustness to address the assignment problem in large proline-rich IDPs.
