Fig. 3. Dredd drives Imd signalling and Relish activation.

Fig. 3

A Upon activation by DAP-type peptidoglycan, Imd and dFadd are recruited to the PGRP-LC receptor. Dredd binds to dFadd, is activated, and cleaves Imd. B Cleavage of Imd enables recruitment of Diap2 that also interacts directly with Dredd. Diap2 catalyses the formation of K63-linked ubiquitin chains on Dredd and Imd. C The K63-linked chains on Imd are thought to recruit the dTak1/dTab2 complex, and the chains on Dredd might function as a scaffold for additional proteins or protein complexes needed for downstream signalling. Ubiquitination of Dredd is, in addition, needed for proteolytic processing and nuclear translocation of Relish.
