Why this annotation

Multiple proteasome subunits are present as hub genes: PSMD7, PSMA1, PSMD2, PSMD13, PSMC1 (19S and 20S subunits), plus UBE2L3 and UBE2M (E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes), RAD23A (ubiquitin receptor/proteasome shuttle), DNAJC8/DNAJC15 (HSP40 chaperones supporting proteasome function), ATP6V1E1/ATP6V1D (V-ATPase subunits), SLC25A3 (mitochondrial phosphate carrier), PFDN2 (prefoldin chaperone), SUMO1 (SUMOylation), UBE2L3/UBE2M (ubiquitin E2s). The proteasome/ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is the dominant and coherent program. Neighbor modules M6 and M97 also contain proteasome subunits, confirming this is a UPS-centered neighborhood. Uniform expression is consistent with constitutive proteasome activity in macrophages.
