Why this annotation

Dominated by the mitochondrial chaperonin pair HSPD1/HSPE1 together with DUSP1 (immediate-early stress phosphatase), ODC1 and SLC25A25 (stress/energy-responsive mitochondrial carrier), UBE2D3 (ubiquitin conjugation) and the housekeeping translation factors SRSF3/PABPC1. This mixes a heat-shock/proteotoxic stress core with abundant translation machinery, matching its neighbor M89 (BAG3/HSPB8/DNAJB4 chaperones) — the shared driver is a proteostatic/heat-shock response rather than a discrete lineage program.
