However, green fluorescent protein and its derivatives have limited usage under anaerobic conditions and require a long maturation time. On the other hand, the NADPH-dependent blue fluorescent protein (BFP) without oxidative modification of residues is instantly functional in both aerobic and anaerobic systems. BFP proteins belong to a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) protein family, and their fluorescent property changes with reaction time in the presence of a substrate. With the aim of developing a better fluorescent reporter independent of redox state, we elucidated the crystal structure of a tetrameric mBFP from soil metagenomes with and without NADPH. Apart from the previously known regions, structure-guided mutational studies have identified several residues that contribute to the fluorescence of mBFP, including two aromatic residues (F97 and Y157) near the nicotinamide moiety of the bound NADPH. A single histidine mutation at Y157 (Y157H) has conferred more stabilized, time-independent fluorescence even in the presence of substrates. Furthermore, we discovered another SDR protein that can also emit blue fluorescence. These results open a new possibility for the development of BFP as a stable cellular reporter for widespread use, independent of subcellular environments.
