Other Details Based on an initial helical reconstruction in RELION2.0, we performed signal subtraction to generate a set of 219,455 subtracted particles containing one isolated Torc1 assembly per segment. Next, we employed the localrec module in Scipion to crop and re-center the signal subtracted particles in a smaller box of 300 pixels, as well as assigning to each particle a refined defocus based on the helical geometry. Single-particle analysis of the subtracted particles using 3D refinement in RELION2.0, while imposing D1 symmetry, resulted in a map with a resolution of 4.5 Angstrom (FSC = 0.143). We then imported the particles from the RELION2.0 refinement in cryoSPARC 3.01. After 2D classification and class selection, a set of 213808 selected particles was used for Non-Uniform refinement in cryoSPARC 3.01, employing a dynamic mask, imposing D1 symmetry, using the option to keep particles from the same helix in the same half-set, and allowing high-order aberration estimation and correction, which resulted in a final map with a resolution of 3.87 Angstrom (FSC = 0.143).

Details Initial homology models of Tor2 and Lst8 were generated using Phyre2, while a model of Kog1 was generated using ITasser. Homology models of Tor2, Lst8 and Kog1 were first manually placed in the final 3D map followed by rigid-body fitting in Chimera. The rigid-body fitted models were subsequently subjected to a round of flexible fitting using Imodfit followed by automatic molecular dynamics flexible fitting using NAMDINATOR. The flexibly fitted structure was then refined using the Phenix software package.
