Conserved homology-1 (C1) domains are peripheral membrane domains that target their host proteins to diacylglycerol (DAG)-containing membranes. It has been previously shown that a conservative aromatic mutation of a single residue in the C1 domain has a profound effect on DAG affinity. We report that the "DAG-toggling" mutation changes the conformational dynamics of the loop region that forms the binding site for the C1 activators. Moreover, there is a correlation among the residue identity at t ...[more]
