The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Importin α mRNAs have distinct expression profiles during spermatogenesis (2006, methodology): “Two more reports have assigned the six human importin genes into three distinct subgroups: the 1s, 2s, and 3s (Kohler et al., 2002; Goldfarb et al., 2004).”
NLStradamus: a simple Hidden Markov Model for nuclear localization signal prediction (2009, background): “This agrees with the notion that important regulatory mechanisms are conserved, although it is possible that differences in positive predictive value can be attributed to the existence of multiple importin-α,β homologues in other species [24] or differences in proteins lengths between species.”
Importin α transports CaMKIV to the nucleus without utilizing importin β (2005, background): “…sterically hindered by importin a-bound CaMKIV since importin b binds to the N-terminal IBB region of importin a, which is separated a considerable distance from the armadillo repeats by a flexible linker region (Cingolani et al, 2000; Conti and Kuriyan, 2000; for review, see Goldfarb et al, 2004).”
