Glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoenolpyruvate synthase are key metabolic nodes for high-light acclimation in cyanobacteria.

Balancing energy supply from photosynthetic light reactions with downstream metabolic demand is critical for preventing photosystem damage. Although energy-dissipation mechanisms involving remodeling of photosystems are well known, the role of downstream metabolic routes in energy dissipation remains understudied. Here...
