description: >-
  FBXW7 (also known as hCdc4, SEL-10, FBW7, Archipelago homolog) is the F-box/WD40
  substrate-recognition subunit of an SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3
  ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Its N-terminal F-box domain binds SKP1 (and
  thereby connects to the CUL1-RBX1 catalytic core), while its C-terminal
  eight-bladed WD40 beta-propeller forms a phosphodegron-binding pocket that
  recognizes Cdc4 phosphodegron (CPD) motifs (a high-affinity consensus is
  pThr-Pro-Pro-X-pSer, with the central phosphothreonine at the P0 position),
  typically generated by GSK3, CDK1/2, or ERK/MAPK priming-plus-phosphorylation
  schemes; low-affinity and noncanonical CPDs can also be biologically decisive.
  By recruiting these phosphorylated substrates to the SCF complex, FBXW7 directs
  their polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. FBXW7 is a
  major tumor suppressor: it targets a network of oncoproteins and regulatory
  proteins for destruction, including cyclin E (CCNE1/CCNE2), MYC and N-MYC, the
  NOTCH1/NOTCH2/NOTCH4 intracellular domains, JUN, MCL1, MLST8, RICTOR, NR1D1
  (REV-ERBalpha), presenilin 1, EGFR (via CPD-like motifs in its cytoplasmic
  tail), the Wnt effectors LEF1 and TCF7L2, and the mitophagy kinase PINK1. FBXW7
  functions as a homodimer, which tunes
  substrate turnover and processivity. Three N-terminally distinct isoforms
  (alpha/nucleoplasm, beta/cytoplasm, gamma/nucleolus) localize to different
  subcellular compartments and access partly distinct substrate pools. Through
  this substrate-receptor activity FBXW7 governs cell-cycle progression
  (G1/S transition), Notch signaling, MYC-driven proliferation, EGFR/MAPK and
  Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, lipid and circadian metabolism, mitochondrial
  quality control, and bone homeostasis. Beyond canonical degradative
  K48-type ubiquitination, an ATM-phosphorylated SCF(FBXW7) pool can promote
  non-degradative K63-linked polyubiquitination of XRCC4 at DNA double-strand
  breaks to facilitate non-homologous end joining. Loss-of-function mutations,
  frequently clustered in the WD40 substrate-binding arginines (hotspots
  R465, R479, R505), are among the most common in human cancers, where they
  stabilize oncogenic substrates and can drive resistance to anti-EGFR and
  anti-Wnt therapies; germline FBXW7 variants cause an autosomal dominant
  neurodevelopmental disorder (DEDHIL).

    summary: Sequence-similarity transfer (from mouse Q8VBV4) of a role in positive regulation of EGFR signaling. The directionality conflicts with direct evidence that FBXW7 degrades EGFR.
    action: UNDECIDED
    reason: Recent direct evidence (Boretto et al. 2024, summarized in the Falcon report) shows EGFR is a direct FBXW7 substrate bearing CPD-like motifs in its cytoplasmic tail, and that FBXW7 hotspot mutation stabilizes EGFR and reduces EGF dependency ~10,000-fold. That implies FBXW7 normally promotes EGFR turnover and therefore restrains (negatively regulates) EGFR signaling, which is in tension with this transferred positive regulation term. The ISS curator-judgment transfer cannot be reconciled with the degradative biology from cached sources alone, so the annotation is left UNDECIDED pending verification of the mouse source and the human substrate relationship.

  findings:
  - statement: FBXW7 is the substrate-recognition subunit of an SCF (SKP1-CUL1-RBX1) Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that recognizes phosphorylated Cdc4 phosphodegrons (CPD) via its WD40 beta-propeller, a high-affinity consensus being pThr-Pro-Pro-X-pSer; WD40 hotspot arginines R465/R479/R505 are required for phosphodegron recognition and are recurrently mutated in cancer.
    supporting_text: FBXW7 recognizes phosphorylated Cdc4 phosphodegrons (CPDs) using its WD40 domain; a high-affinity consensus described in recent review is pThr-Pro-Pro-X-pSer, though lower-affinity/noncanonical CPDs also exist. Substrate phosphorylation is often created or reinforced by GSK3, and can involve kinase cascades including CDK1/2 and ERK/MAPK; hotspot arginines such as R465/R479/R505 are critical for phosphodegron recognition and are recurrently mutated in cancer
  - statement: EGFR is a direct FBXW7 substrate; CPD-like motifs in the EGFR cytoplasmic tail are recognized, and FBXW7 hotspot mutation stabilizes EGFR and dramatically reduces EGF dependency, implying that FBXW7 normally restrains (rather than activates) EGFR signaling by promoting EGFR turnover.
    supporting_text: A 2024 primary study identified **EGFR** as a **direct FBXW7 substrate** in human colon organoids, mapping **CPD-like motifs** in the EGFR cytoplasmic tail. Introducing FBXW7 hotspot mutations increased EGFR stability and caused an approximately **10,000-fold reduction in EGF dependency** for organoid growth, functionally linking FBXW7-mediated EGFR turnover to growth-factor addiction.
  - statement: The Wnt effectors LEF1 and TCF7L2 are FBXW7-interacting substrates whose binding depends on the WD40 substrate-binding surface, linking FBXW7 loss to altered Wnt transcriptional output.
    supporting_text: A 2023 mechanistic endometrial cancer study validated **LEF1** and **TCF7L2** as novel FBXW7-interacting substrates. Co-immunoprecipitation showed interaction that was disrupted by an FBXW7 WD40 "hotspot" substrate-binding mutant
  - statement: The cytoplasmic isoform FBW7beta binds endogenous PINK1 in the cytosol and promotes its K48-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation in an SCF/cullin-1-dependent manner, linking FBXW7 to mitochondrial quality control.
    supporting_text: A 2024 JBC study reports that the cytoplasmic isoform **FBW7β** binds endogenous **PINK1** (interaction detected by co-IP and proximity ligation), primarily in the **cytosol**, and promotes **K48-linked polyubiquitination** and **proteasome-dependent degradation** of PINK1.
  - statement: FBXW7 substrate selection is not governed solely by perfect CPD matches; low-affinity and noncanonical degrons can be biologically decisive, and hotspot WD40 mutations differentially disrupt subsets of substrates, helping explain variant-specific cancer phenotypes.
    supporting_text: substrate selection is not governed solely by "perfect" CPD matches; **low-affinity substrates and alternative binding modes** can be decisive, and **hotspot WD40 mutations** may differentially disrupt subsets of substrates—helping explain cancer-specific phenotypes and inconsistent clinical associations.

suggested_questions:
- question: How is FBXW7 substrate choice partitioned among its three isoforms (nucleoplasmic alpha, cytoplasmic beta, nucleolar gamma), and to what extent does isoform-specific localization rather than intrinsic specificity determine which substrates are degraded?
- question: What governs the switch between canonical K48-linked degradative ubiquitination and the ATM-dependent K63-linked non-degradative ubiquitination of XRCC4 at DNA double-strand breaks?
- question: Do individual WD40 hotspot mutations (e.g., R465C vs R465H vs R479 vs R505) differentially disrupt distinct subsets of substrates (e.g., cyclin E, MYC, EGFR, NOTCH, LEF1/TCF7L2), and does this substrate-selective loss explain the variant-specific clinical outcomes observed in cancer?
- question: Given that FBXW7 directly degrades EGFR via CPD-like motifs in its cytoplasmic tail, does FBXW7 act as a bona fide negative regulator of EGFR/MAPK signaling in normal tissues, and how should the inherited positive-regulation-of-EGFR annotation be reconciled with this degradative role?
suggested_experiments:
- description: Reconstitute SCF(FBXW7) ubiquitination in vitro with purified CUL1-RBX1, SKP1, FBXW7 (monomer vs forced dimer) and a panel of phosphorylated substrates to quantify how dimerization and degron multiplicity affect chain processivity and linkage type.
- description: Generate isoform-specific FBXW7 knock-in/knockout cells and perform quantitative ubiquitinome and proteome profiling to map the endogenous substrate repertoire of each isoform under basal, DNA-damage, and metabolic-stress conditions.
- description: Compare panels of cancer-derived WD40 hotspot point mutants (R465C/H, R479, R505) side by side for binding and degradation of a defined substrate set (cyclin E, MYC, NOTCH ICD, EGFR, LEF1/TCF7L2, MCL1) to test whether low-affinity/noncanonical degrons are selectively spared and to map mutation-to-substrate vulnerability for therapy stratification.
