Nucleus, nuclear pore complex {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10523501}. Chromosome, telomere {ECO:0000305|PubMed:9822378}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16076287}. Note=Associated with the Golgi and with juxtanuclear SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles (PubMed:22864114). A minor proportion is also found at nuclear pore complexes and around the pericentriolar matrix of mitotic centromeres (PubMed:10523501). During interphase, a small fraction of TNKS is found in the nucleus, associated with TERF1 (PubMed:12768206). Localizes to spindle poles at mitosis onset via interaction with NUMA1 (PubMed:12080061). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10523501, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12768206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22864114}.
