The inner membrane assembly complex (INAC) interacts with components of the F1F0-ATP synthase but its function remains unclear. Here the authors show that INAC associates with two distinct complexes during F1F0-ATP synthase formation, which points towards a safeguarding role during proton-conducting channel assembly.
