Motor recruitment to the TIM23 channel’s lateral gate restricts polypeptide release into the inner membrane

The mitochondrial TIM23-complex facilitates anterograde precursor transport across the inner membrane into the matrix and lateral release of precursors into the membrane. Here authors show that the import motor J-protein Pam18 controls lateral protein release into the lipid bilayer.
