Why this annotation

The module combines chaperonin-mediated protein folding (CCT3, CCT5, PPIA/cyclophilin A) with chromatin/nuclear regulatory proteins (SET, ANP32A, XRCC5/Ku80, NAA50, ANAPC5). Moderate coherence with several weak members reflects this mixed composition. The dominant functional theme across the highest-PageRank genes is protein folding and proteostasis support, consistent with the high secretory demand of plasmablasts. Neighbor to M78 (OxPhos) and M77 (ribosome biogenesis), all part of a plasmablast activation program. MRPL37 adds a mitoribosomal component linking to M78.
