Enzyme Function FUNCTION: 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). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10934188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11269502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22549468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9740659}.
