Why this annotation

Hub genes WDR1 (AIP1/cofilin cofactor), CAP1 (actin capping/severing), WAS (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, Arp2/3 activator), TUBB (tubulin), DEF6 (Rho GEF), and EVL-related actin regulators define a cytoskeletal remodeling program. CCT5/CCT6A are chaperonin subunits that fold actin and tubulin. LCP2 (SLP-76), SASH3, GIMAP6, and SPN are T cell-specific cytoskeletal/signaling components. CASP1 may reflect inflammasome-linked cytoskeletal changes. Strong coherence with core membership of most genes confirms a tight program of T cell actin cytoskeletal organization.
