Vtc4p is part of a protein complex called vacuolar transporter chaperone complex [VTC] that is usually found in the membranes of vacuoles - pouches in which cells store molecules for later use, transport or destruction.

In particular, we show that the FliH/YscL-like proteins and the E subunits of vacuolar ATPases represent fusions of domains homologous to second-stalk components of the FoF1 ATPase (the b and {delta} subunits).

Jackson and Plano (2000) report that the Yersinia pestis FliH homolog YscL (corresponding to SctL/HrpE in Figure 4a) has low but significant sequence similarity with the e subunit of the archaeal ATPase of Methanococcus jannaschii and the e subunit of the vacuolar ATPase of Desulfurococcus spp.; these subunits are the homologs of the b subunit of the F1F0-ATP synthetase.

The low-affinity sulphate transporters SULTR4; 1 and SULTR4; 2 have been localized to the vacuolar membrane, where they may facilitate sulphate efflux from the vacuole.
