Death Effector Domain, repeat 2, of Caspase-10; Death effector domain (DED) found in Caspase-10, repeat 2. Caspases are aspartate-specific cysteine proteases with functions in apoptosis and immune signaling. Initiator caspases are the first to be activated following death- or inflammation-inducing signals. Caspase-10 is an initiator of death receptor mediated apoptosis. Together with FADD, caspase-8 and the pseudo-caspase c-FLIP, it forms the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), whose formation is triggered by the activation of type 1 tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors such as Fas, TNF receptor 1, and TRAIL receptor. It contains two N-terminal DED domains and a C-terminal caspase domain. DEDs comprise a subfamily of the Death Domain (DD) superfamily. DDs are protein-protein interaction domains found in a variety of domain architectures. Their common feature is that they form homodimers by self-association or heterodimers by associating with other members of the DD superfamily including PYRIN and CARD (Caspase activation and recruitment domain). They serve as adaptors in signaling pathways and can recruit other proteins into signaling complexes.

Caspase, interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) homologues; Cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases that mediate programmed cell death (apoptosis). Caspases are synthesized as inactive zymogens and activated by proteolysis of the peptide backbone adjacent to an aspartate. The resulting two subunits associate to form an (alpha)2(beta)2-tetramer which is the active enzyme. Activation of caspases can be mediated by other caspase homologs.

DEDs comprise a subfamily of the Death Domain (DD) superfamily. FADD is a component of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) and serves as an adaptor in the signaling pathway of death receptor proteins. It modulates apoptosis as well as non-apoptotic processes such as cell cycle progression, survival, innate immune signaling, and hematopoiesis. FADD contains an N-terminal DED and a C-terminal DD. Its DD interacts with the DD of the activated death receptor and its DED recruits the initiator caspases 8 and 10 to the DISC complex via a homotypic interaction with the N-terminal DED of the caspase. DDs are protein-protein interaction domains found in a variety of domain architectures.

It negatively influences apoptotic signaling by interfering with the efficient formation of the Death Inducing Signalling Complex (DISC). At low levels, c-FLIP has been shown to enhance apoptotic signaling by allosterically activating caspase-8. As a modulator of the initiator caspases, c-FLIP regulates life and death in various types of cells and tissues. All members contain two N-terminal DEDs and a C-terminal pseudo-caspase domain.
