Abstract

Direct membrane fusion in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is triggered by IM30 protein oligomers, but so far the exact mechanism of membrane binding has remained obscure. In this issue of Structure, Saur et al. (2017) describe the detailed structure of Janus-faced IM30 rings crucial for thylakoid membrane fusion and membrane layer architecture.
