KPNA1/importin α5 localizes to the nucleolus and associates with box C/D snoRNP complexes.

KPNA1 (karyopherin α1, also known as importin α5) is a well-characterized nuclear transport factor; however, its functions beyond canonical nuclear transport remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that KPNA1 localizes to the nucleolus in neuronal tissues and is associated with box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleop...
