Re: [DIYbio] modified GFP -> pr-coelenterazine peptide

Chances are the pre-coelenterazine protein will be something that looks a lot like GFP. And if these comb jellies don't have any GFP homologs, I would predict with some degree of confidence that they probably can't make their own coelenterazine, but need to aquire it through their diet. I'm sure someone will be doing that experiment soon, if they haven't already.

Maybe, just maybe, this is the way to find the luciferin? Maybe it got also duplicated many times. But very probably it has many genes duplicated which do not play a role in bioluminescence...
