cupin domain-containing protein, part of a functionally diverse superfamily with the active site generally located at the center of a conserved domain forming a beta-barrel fold; similar to gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase that catalyzes the oxygen-dependent ring fission of gentisate between the carboxyl and proximal hydroxyl groups at positions 1 and 2 of the aromatic ring to form maleylpyruvate
