Why this annotation

Hub genes include PSMB7 (proteasome beta subunit 7, involved in protein degradation), HNRNPD (AU-rich element RNA-binding protein, post-transcriptional regulation), APP (amyloid precursor protein, involved in vesicular transport and membrane homeostasis), TMEM87A (transmembrane protein, Golgi/ER morphology), STT3B (oligosaccharyltransferase catalytic subunit, N-glycosylation in ER), SLC44A1 (choline transporter), MTDH (metadherin, stress response/RNA metabolism), RIF1 (DNA replication timing, telomere maintenance), SRSF11 (serine/arginine splicing factor). The combination of proteasomal degradation (PSMB7), RNA processing (HNRNPD, SRSF11, MTDH), ER glycosylation (STT3B), and DNA replication (RIF1) does not resolve to a tight single pathway. However, the dominant theme across hub genes is post-transcriptional/proteostatic housekeeping — a general cellular maintenance program common to many cell types. These genes collectively reflect baseline protein quality control and RNA metabolism.
