TolA is located in the inner membrane and comprises of three domains: the N-terminal domain I (TolAI), from residues 1-47 including a 20-residue hydrophobic membrane spanning region which anchors the protein to the cytoplasmic membrane<ref name='Lazzaroni'>PMID: 7853390</ref>; domain II (TolAII), from residues 48-301, which forms a rigid helix connecting the domains either side of it; and the C-terminal domain III (TolAIII) from residues 302-421, which may be involved in the function of TolA by interacting with the periplasmic or outer membrane proteins, due to the tethering to domain II<ref name='Sharyn'>PMID: 8416897</ref>.
