Scapinin, a putative protein phosphatase-1 regulatory subunit associated with the nuclear nonchromatin structure.

It is thought that the nuclear nonchromatin structures, such as the nuclear matrix and lamina, play regulatory roles in gene expression. In this study, we identified an insoluble protein that was associated with the chromatin-depleted nuclear structure of proliferating human leukemia HL-60 cells. Preparation of the chromatin-depleted nuclear structure, referred to as the nuclear matrix-intermediate filament scaffold (Fey, E.
