AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.
Annotated transcripts do not represent all possible combinations of alternative exons and/or alternative promoters.

Dredd protein has two death effector domains, and a caspase-like domain.
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).
Polyubiquitinated by Diap2 following activation of the immune deficiency (Imd) pathway.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
New stable cell line derived from S2-unspecified : A stable S2 cell line that constitutively expresses an Tag:HA-tagged Dredd variant in which the active site cysteine has been replaced with an alanine (HADreddC408A) were created. Stable S2 cell lines that constitutively express Tag:HA-tagged wild type or mutant dnr1 in which the essential RING domain active site cysteine was replaced with a tyrosine were also created (HADnr1 and HADnr1C563Y).
Dredd is necessary to provide immunity to reactive oxygen species-resistant pathogens.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene stops cleavage of the Rel protein product in mbn-2 and S2 cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Mutation in Dredd renders flies highly susceptible to infection by Gram-negative bacteria.
