Why this annotation

JUNB and JUN are canonical AP-1 immediate early response transcription factors. IER2 and IER5L are immediate early response genes induced by mitogenic and stress stimuli. GADD45B is a stress and DNA damage response gene. H2AX (γH2AX marks DNA double-strand breaks) indicates DNA damage. CITED2 is a hypoxia/stress-responsive CBP coactivator. HEXIM1 inhibits P-TEFb and controls transcriptional elongation during stress. SNAI1 is an AP-1-regulated transcriptional repressor. ID2 is regulated by AP-1 and involved in T cell differentiation. SLC38A2 is an amino acid transporter upregulated in stress (integrated stress response). AMD1 is involved in polyamine synthesis. This module strongly resembles an immediate early/AP-1 stress response program.
