In plant mitochondria, NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) and the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III) form a I + III2 supercomplex, which is thought to stabilize the structure of the component complexes. Protein–protein interactions at three sites on the membrane arm of complex I partly resemble those in mammals, but also have plant-specific features.
