Why this annotation

Hub genes are dominated by translation initiation factors (EIF3E, EIF3L, EIF3F, EIF3D), elongation factors (EEF1A1, EEF1B2), poly-A binding protein (PABPC1), and ribosome scaffold RACK1. SLC25A6 and TOMM20 provide mitochondrial energy support for translation. Core coherence, uniform expression at very high detection (93.8%), and significant downregulation in IBD inflammation with recovery on treatment is consistent with a housekeeping translation program suppressed during disease. ST13 is an HSP70 co-chaperone supporting nascent protein folding.
