Why this annotation

Hub genes USP36 (deubiquitinase enriched in nucleolus, regulates Myc stability), EML4 (microtubule-associated, EMAP-like), SLC38A1 (glutamine transporter SNAT1, mTORC1 activation), IFNGR1 (IFN-γ receptor 1, key immune signaling), PGRMC2 (membrane progesterone receptor component, cholesterol/heme metabolism), DHCR7 (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, cholesterol synthesis), PDE4B (cAMP phosphodiesterase, immune regulation), PLEKHA2 (PH domain, membrane signaling), CCDC93 (retromer complex). IFNGR1 is the clearest immune functional hub. SLC38A1+DHCR7 suggest metabolic reprogramming downstream of IFN-γ signaling. USP36 stabilizes Myc which is downstream of IFN-γ/mTOR. The module is heterogeneous but IFN-γ receptor signaling with metabolic co-regulation is the most coherent interpretation.
