Gene Snapshot
Death related ced-3/Nedd2-like caspase (Dredd) encodes a protein that functions downstream of Fadd, and is thought to activate by cleavage the transcription factor encoded by Rel in the immune deficiency pathway. This pathway regulates the antibacterial response and other less characterized cellular processes. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07]
Gene Group (FlyBase)
CASPASES -
Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that are particularly well known for their role in apoptosis. Caspases are translated as inactive zymogen precursor proteins. Initiator caspases have a large prodomain, and are cleaved to yield active enzyme in response to proapoptotic stimuli. Initiator caspases cleave and active effector (or executioner) caspases which cleave the substrates leading to programmed cell death. Caspases belong to MEROPS family C14. (Adapted from FBrf0215539).
Pathway (FlyBase)
Imd Signaling Pathway Core Components -
The immune deficiency (Imd) pathway primarily mediates the humoral immune response to Gram-negative bacteria. Activation of the Imd pathway by diaminopimelic acid-type peptidoglycan initiates a signaling cascade that ultimately results in the release of the NFκB-like factor Rel from auto-inhibition and its translocation into the nucleus to activate the transcription of antimicrobial peptides. (Adapted from FBrf0224587 and FBrf0238555.)
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Effector of the programmed cell death (PCD) activators rpr, grim and hid (PubMed:9740659). May play an apoptotic role in the germline as well as soma. Fadd interacts with Dredd to promote cleavage of Dredd and is necessary and sufficient for enhancing Dredd-induced apoptosis (PubMed:10934188). Plays a role in the innate immune response. Required for resistance to Gram-negative bacterial infection (PubMed:11269502). Diap2-mediated ubiquitination of Dredd is critical for processing of imd and rel and the subsequent expression of antimicrobial genes such as DptA (PubMed:22549468).

Comments

When apoptosis is triggered by the expression of rpr, grim, or W proteins, caspase-like processing of the the α, γ, and δ isoforms of Dredd protein occurs. (It is likely that the putative α isoform is a truncated form of the δ isoform.)

(Chen et al., 1998)

Dredd protein has two death effector domains, and a caspase-like domain.

(Inohara et al., 1997)
External Data
Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 15 kDa (caspase-8 subunit p15) and a 10 kDa (caspase-8 subunit p10) subunit (PubMed:9740659). Interacts (via N-terminus) with Diap2; likely to bind Diap2 simultaneously with Fadd to form a trimeric complex (PubMed:10934188, PubMed:22549468).

(UniProt, Q8IRY7)
Post Translational Modification

Polyubiquitinated by Diap2 following activation of the immune deficiency (Imd) pathway.

            Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)
            Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 15 kDa (caspase-8 subunit p15) and a 10 kDa (caspase-8 subunit p10) subunit (PubMed:9740659). Interacts (via N-terminus) with Diap2; likely to bind Diap2 simultaneously with Fadd to form a trimeric complex (PubMed:10934188, PubMed:22549468).

            Pathways
            Signaling Pathways (FlyBase)
            Imd Signaling Pathway Core Components -
            The immune deficiency (Imd) pathway primarily mediates the humoral immune response to Gram-negative bacteria. Activation of the Imd pathway by diaminopimelic acid-type peptidoglycan initiates a signaling cascade that ultimately results in the release of the NFκB-like factor Rel from auto-inhibition and its translocation into the nucleus to activate the transcription of antimicrobial peptides.
