Gene Description

hid encodes Head involution defective, a Drosophila RHG-family IAP antagonist that promotes apoptotic caspase activation. Hid is a mitochondrial tail-anchored protein whose N-terminal IAP-binding motif binds DIAP1 and DIAP2 BIR domains, displacing Dronc and DrICE from IAP control and cooperating with Reaper and Grim to drive apoptotic signaling during development, steroid-triggered tissue remodeling, cell competition, and genotoxic stress responses. Hid is also a direct target of Ras-dependent survival signaling; MAPK phosphorylation sites in Hid are required for Ras/MAPK activity to inhibit its proapoptotic function, in addition to Ras-mediated down-regulation of hid transcription.

MODIFY
Summary: Hid binds the DIAP1 IAP-family ubiquitin ligase in its pro-apoptotic pathway.
Reason: The source supports Hid antagonism of DIAP1 rather than an uninformative protein-binding assertion; DIAP1 is a RING-containing IAP E3, so ubiquitin protein ligase binding is more informative.

Summary: The DIAP2 paper assayed Hid competition with the DIAP2-drICE complex, but this generic IPI row should be resolved cautiously.
Reason: PMID:18166655 shows that Hid binds DIAP2 through BIR2/BIR3 and outcompetes drICE for free DIAP2; the better function is BIR domain binding rather than generic protein binding.

MODIFY
Summary: Hid antagonizes DIAP1-mediated caspase inhibition.
Reason: Hid does not bind or modulate caspases itself, which GO:0043028 requires ("binds to and modulates the activity of a cysteine-type endopeptidase"). It binds DIAP1 and blocks DIAP1's caspase-inhibitor activity (PMID:10481910), so its molecular function is to sequester DIAP1's BIR surfaces away from caspases. The replacement is GO:0140311 protein sequestering activity, which hid already carries by IDA (PMID:15107838) and as a core function. The genetic interactions with DrICE, Dronc, Strica, Decay and Dark (PMID:16485033) place Hid upstream of those caspases; the same study proposes an additional DIAP1-independent route whose molecular mechanism is not established, so none of these rows shows Hid binding a caspase, and they move with the IDA row. Earlier reasoning: This molecular-function row accurately captures Hid as a cysteine-type endopeptidase regulator in apoptosis.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Hid is induced by gamma/ionizing radiation independently of UTX.
Reason: This control shows that loss of utx has little impact on hid induction. It supports Hid as a radiation-induced apoptotic effector, not as a participant in the generic cellular response to gamma radiation.

Core Functions

Hid uses its N-terminal IAP-binding motif to bind DIAP1 and DIAP2 BIR domains, antagonizing IAP-caspase complexes and releasing Dronc/DrICE apoptotic signaling.

Supporting Evidence:

Hid sequesters IAP BIR surfaces away from caspase substrates, including the DIAP1-DrICE and DIAP2-drICE interfaces, to permit caspase-cascade amplification.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which developmental apoptosis contexts require Hid-DIAP2 antagonism in addition to the genetically dominant Hid-DIAP1 axis?

Q: How do Hid mitochondrial insertion, RHG oligomerization, and BIR binding combine at endogenous protein levels to set the threshold for DIAP1 and DIAP2 inhibition?

Q: Which upstream survival pathways phosphorylate or otherwise restrain Hid directly in tissues where EGFR/Ras, Ack, or microRNAs buffer developmental apoptosis?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Generate endogenous hid alleles that selectively disrupt the IAP-binding motif, predicted tail anchor, and candidate oligomerization or Reaper-binding surfaces, then quantify DIAP1/DIAP2 occupancy, Dronc and DrICE reporter activity, and cell survival in embryos, eye discs, larval midgut, and salivary glands.

Hypothesis: Hid requires separable N-terminal BIR-binding and C-terminal mitochondrial-tail-anchor surfaces for efficient IAP antagonism in vivo.

Type: endogenous separation-of-function allele series with live caspase reporters and IAP co-immunoprecipitation

Experiment: Combine Hid reporters with Diap2 BIR2, BIR3, and RING point mutants at the endogenous locus under weak genotoxic stress, steroid-triggered larval tissue death, and EGFR-loss epidermal apoptosis, then compare SCAT3/drICE activity and cell loss against Diap1 sensitized backgrounds.

Hypothesis: DIAP2 buffering of Hid is context-specific and is only visible when the DIAP1-controlled Dronc threshold is partially compromised.

Type: structure-guided endogenous DIAP2 mutant rescue in Hid-dependent apoptosis assays

FlyBase gene description for hid (DROME)

head involution defective (hid) encodes a member of the RHG (Reaper-Hid-Grim) family that promotes apoptosis by binding to and inhibiting the inhibitor of apoptosis protein Diap1, thereby enabling caspase activation and cell death. Hid functions within the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and is a key effector of developmental and stress-induced apoptosis throughout Drosophila development. Its activity is negatively regulated by the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway through direct phosphorylation, which suppresses Hid-mediated apoptosis and promotes cell survival.
