Protein Family Models

This family represents the conserved barrel domain of the 'cupin' superfamily [1] ('cupa' is the Latin term for a small barrel). [1]. 9573603. Cupins: a new superfamily of functionally diverse proteins that include germins and plant storage proteins. Dunwell JM;. Biotechnol Genet Eng Rev 1998;15:1-32. (from Pfam)

This family consists of gentisate 1,2-dioxygenases. This ring-opening enzyme acts in salicylate degradation that goes via gentisate rather than via catechol. It converts gentisate to maleylpyruvate. Some putative gentisate 1,2-dioxygenases are excluded by a relatively high trusted cutoff score because they are too closely related to known examples of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate dioxygenase. Therefore some homologs may be bona fide gentisate 1,2-dioxygenases even if they score below the given cutoffs.
