Why this annotation

PDCD6IP (ALIX/ESCRT-III accessory protein, exosome biogenesis), GOLGA5 (Golgi apparatus structural protein), RAP1B (small GTPase, vesicle trafficking/integrin signaling), KIF2A (kinesin motor, microtubule depolymerization), IRAK4 (TLR/IL-1R signaling kinase critical in pDCs), ERAP1 (ER aminopeptidase, antigen processing), and multiple ZNF transcription factors. The module loosely combines vesicular/Golgi trafficking with innate immune signaling. IRAK4 and ERAP1 are particularly relevant to pDC TLR7/9 signaling and antigen presentation. Weak coherence limits interpretation.
