Why this annotation

Hub genes include IL2RB (NK/ILC identity receptor), YWHAB (14-3-3 signaling scaffold), PSMA5/PSMB8/PSMB9 (proteasome subunits), MYL12A (myosin light chain, cytoskeletal), S100A11 (calcium-binding), TAPBP (tapasin, MHC-I antigen loading), and CMTM6 (PD-L1 stabilizer). The module is ILC1-enriched and moderate coherence, combining NK identity/surface markers with proteasome activity. The dominant theme across hub genes is antigen processing and NK cell identity, with TAPBP and PSMB8/9 (immunoproteasome subunits) pointing to MHC-I antigen presentation machinery. This links to the proteasome-heavy neighbors M74 and M62.
