Target Information

Apoptotic signals are often triggered by cell surface death receptors through protein-protein interactions mediated by conserved domains such as the death effector domain. A novel death effector domain (DED)-containing protein, DEDD2, has been recently identified. Over-expression of DEDD2 in transfected cells induces moderate apoptosis and results in substantial sensitization to apoptosis induced by Fas, TRAIL, and FADD. DEDD2 can bind caspase-8 and -10 in addition to FLIP but not FADD. Similar to DEDD, DEDD2 translocates from the cytosol to the nucleus upon induction of apoptosis, suggesting that DEDD2 may target caspase-8 to the nucleus and play a critical role in death receptor-induced apoptosis. At least two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for DEDD2.
