The paper you cited mentioned that "while the ultimate source of the coelenterazine in hydromedusae remains unknown, we believe that crustaceans are the most likely sources", and "the decapod shrimp Systellaspis debilis appears to have the ability to synthesize the molecule". So now the question becomes: can we find a GFP-like protein in these coelenterazine synthesizing shrimp?
But the question is: Do we need to find that source? Maybe it's quite complicated...
Couldn't one just use the modified GFP to produce coelenterazine? Or a smaller peptide (a fragment of modGFP) which too will make coelenterazine?
