Why this annotation

Hub genes include ATP5F1B and NDUFA11/NDUFS5 (mitochondrial OXPHOS), NEDD8/SUMO2 (ubiquitin-like protein modification), RAB5C/AP2S1/CLTA (endocytic trafficking), CFL1/BRK1 (actin dynamics), and MRPL33 (mitoribosome). All genes show weak membership and uniform expression, consistent with broadly expressed housekeeping functions. The module mixes OXPHOS, protein homeostasis (SUMOylation, neddylation), and endocytic machinery — a loosely co-regulated housekeeping cluster. In the context of neighboring modules that also contain OXPHOS subunits and translation factors, this module captures peripheral housekeeping genes that co-vary with the core metabolic program.
