Why this annotation

Hub genes: CTDNEP1 (CTD nuclear envelope phosphatase), RAD23A (DNA repair/proteasome delivery), NCR3 (NKp30, natural cytotoxicity receptor — NK/MAIT activation marker), TMEM109 (ER membrane), PSMC5 (proteasome 26S AAA-ATPase), TMEM256 (transmembrane), TNFRSF25 (DR3, death receptor, TNF superfamily), CAPNS1 (calpain small subunit), NSA2 (ribosome biogenesis), SHISA5 (Scotin, pro-apoptotic ER protein), ATP5MJ (ATP synthase), SEC61G (ER translocon), PSME1 (proteasome activator PA28-alpha, antigen processing), AQP3 (aquaporin), PHB2 (prohibitin 2, mitochondria/ER), PPA1 (inorganic pyrophosphatase). The module combines proteasome/antigen processing (RAD23A, PSMC5, PSME1), ER components (SEC61G, TMEM109, SHISA5), death receptor signaling (TNFRSF25), and NCR3 (natural cytotoxicity). NCR3 and TNFRSF25 suggest immune activation/cytotoxic context. The proteasome/antigen processing component (RAD23A, PSMC5, PSME1) is prominent. This module likely represents antigen processing and presentation machinery co-expressed in cytotoxically active MAITs.

Most correlated modules

Module annotations were drafted by a large language model from the module's genes, then reviewed and approved by a domain expert. See sources & licences.
