Liver receptor homolog 1 (LHR-1) is a nuclear receptor involved in development, lipid homeostasis and metabolism. The crystal structures of the LHR-1 ligand-binding domain in its apo state and in complex with the phospholipid DLPC are now presented. The data, along with biophysical and functional analyses, reveal the highly dynamic nature of the apo receptor and show how DLPC binding affects co-regulator selectivity.
