Recessive mutations in humanN-glycanase 1 (NGLY1) cause a multisystem disorder with various phenotypes including global developmental delay. One of the models utilized to understand the biology of NGLY1 and the pathophysiology of NGLY1 deficiency isDrosophila melanogaster, a well-established, genetically tractable organism broadly used to study various biological processes and human diseases. Loss of theDrosophila NGLY1homolog (Pngl) causes a host of phenotypes including developmental delay and lethality. Phenotypic, transcriptomic and genome-wide association analyses onDrosophilahave revealed links between NGLY1 and several critical developmental and cellular pathways/processes. Further, repurposing screens of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs have identified potential candidates to ameliorate some of thePngl-mutant phenotypes. Here, we will summarize the insights gained into the functions of NGLY1 fromDrosophilastudies. We hope that the current review article will encourage additional studies inDrosophilaand other model systems towards establishing a therapeutic strategy for NGLY1 deficiency patients.
