Why this annotation

Strong, coherent module dominated by proteasome subunits (PSMB6, PSMD11, PSMA2), RANBP1 (nuclear transport), translation factors (EIF5B, EIF4E, CDC123), and metabolic/OxPhos genes (PKM, UQCRFS1, MRPL20, SLIRP). The clear proteasome core plus translation machinery indicates a protein-synthesis/degradation/turnover program characteristic of activated, metabolically active T cells. Inflammation-correlated and treatment-reversible.
