(A) The assembly of MtGimC from its component subunits. α-Subunits (red) form a dimeric platform for assembly of the four β-subunits monitored in real time by MS.

(B) The thermal stability of the MtGimC hexamer investigated as a function of temperature. Reproduced with permission from ref. [15]. Inset, X-ray structure of the MtGimC complex [62] from the co-ordinates 1FXK.
