Why this annotation

Hub genes: SUMO2 (SUMOylation, protein modification), EDF1 (transcriptional coactivator, stress response), CD63 (tetraspanin, lysosome/exosome marker), SRP14 (signal recognition particle, ER targeting), COX4I1 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit, mitochondrial), MYL6/MYL12A/MYL12B (myosin light chains, actomyosin), CFL1 (cofilin, actin dynamics), RAC1 (Rho GTPase, actin/migration), GABARAPL2 (autophagy, LC3 family), CHCHD2 (mitochondrial intermembrane space), SERF2 (amyloid modulator), HINT1 (histidine triad, signaling), LGALS3 (galectin-3, inflammation/adhesion), PFN1 (profilin, actin polymerization), BRI3 (apoptosis regulator). The module is dominated by actomyosin cytoskeletal genes (MYL6, MYL12A, MYL12B, CFL1, RAC1, PFN1) alongside autophagy (GABARAPL2), mitochondrial (COX4I1, CHCHD2), and SUMOylation (SUMO2). The cytoskeletal component is the most coherent theme. Neighbor context: sits near housekeeping/translation modules; the cytoskeletal program here likely reflects basal lymphatic endothelial cell motility and shape maintenance.
