IM30 is involved in thylakoid membrane biogenesis and/or maintenance, where it either stabilizes membranes and/or triggers membrane-fusion processes. These apparently contradicting processes have to be tightly controlled and separated spatiotemporally in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. The latter process depends on Mg2+-binding to IM30; yet, it still is unclear how Mg2+-loaded IM30 interacts with membranes and promotes membrane fusion. Here we show that interaction of&...
