    Summary
    Enables ubiquitin-specific protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA endoreduplication; negative regulation of imaginal disc growth; and respiratory system development. Predicted to be part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in eye disc morphogenetic furrow; larval central nervous system; muscle cell of A1-7 ventral longitudinal muscle 1; and organism. Used to study developmental delay, hypotonia, and impaired language. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental delay, hypotonia, and impaired language. Orthologous to human FBXW7 (F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Findings indicate that Archipelago (Ago)/FBXW7 controls S6kinase (dS6K) protein levels, but do not impinge on the transcript level.
      Title: A Drosophila genetic screen for suppressors of S6kinase-dependent growth identifies the F-box subunit Archipelago/FBXW7.
    2. these findings identify Ago as a required element of a circuit that suppresses the tracheogenic activity of larval muscle cells by antagonizing the Sima-mediated transcriptional response to hypoxia.
      Title: The archipelago ubiquitin ligase subunit acts in target tissue to restrict tracheal terminal cell branching and hypoxic-induced gene expression.
    3. p53-mediated regulation of ectopic neural stem cells (NSC) self-renewal through the Ago/Cyc E axis becomes particularly important when NSC homeostasis is perturbed.
      Title: dp53 Restrains ectopic neural stem cell formation in the Drosophila brain in a non-apoptotic mechanism involving Archipelago and cyclin E.
