This entry represents the trypanosome Peripherally associated ATOM36 protein which has been shown to complement a deletion of the Mim1/Mim2 complex in yeast. The integral MOM protein, peripheral archaic translocase of the outer membrane 36 (pATOM36), in analogy to the MIM complex, is involved in the assembly and/or membrane insertion of a small subset of MOM proteins including subunits of the main trypanosomal outer membrane protein translocase (ATOM complex).
