OK. Let's grant that that is the actual hypothesis.

Designed by whom? An naturally-evolved creature? Who then selected that 
protein unnaturally?  As soon as you say "naturally-evolved aliens might be 
the intelligence" then you've broken your hypothesis.

Seedless grapes and bananas were evolved by natural selection. It happened 
to be humans doing the selecting, but it was natural selection and evolution.

So again, even if you find a protein that you think could not have evolved 
naturally, then you have to prove that nobody who is naturally evolved 
created it.
