Abstract The TOC translocon delivers thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins to chloroplasts and related non-photosynthetic plastids. It comprises the β-barrel channel, Toc75, and multiple isoforms of receptor GTPases, Toc33 and Toc159. However, exactly how TOC complexes are assembled in different plastid types is unknown. Here, we present detailed characterisation of two distinct TOC complexes, TOC-P and TOC-N, from photosynthetic chloroplasts and non-photosynthetic plastids, respectively.
