    Norio Takizawa
    Department of Cell Biology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01605, USA
    J Cell Biol 174:447-58. 2006
    ..Thus, SV interactions with TRIP6 at FAs promote loss of FA structure and function. SV and TRIP6 binding partners suggest several specific mechanisms through which the SV-TRIP6 interaction may regulate FA maturation and/or disassembly...
