The TOM complex is the main entry point for precursor proteins into mitochondria. It consists of two beta-barrels, three receptor subunits, and three short transmembrane subunits. Tom20 acts as a dynamic gatekeeper guiding preproteins into the TOM complex.
The TOM complex is the main entry point for precursor proteins (preproteins) into mitochondria. Preproteins containing targeting sequences are recognized by the TOM complex and imported into mitochondria. We have determined the structure of the TOM core complex from Neurospora crassa by single-particle electron cryomicroscopy at 3.3 A resolution, showing its interaction with a bound preprotein at 4 A resolution, and of the TOM holo complex including the Tom20 receptor at 6 to 7 A resolution. TOM is a transmembrane complex consisting of two beta-barrels, three receptor subunits, and three short transmembrane subunits. Tom20 has a transmembrane helix and a receptor domain on the cytoplasmic side. We propose that Tom20 acts as a dynamic gatekeeper, guiding preproteins into the pores of the TOM complex. We analyze the interactions of Tom20 with other TOM subunits, present insights into the structure of the TOM holo complex, and suggest a translocation mechanism.
