Evidence that cyanobacterial Sll1217 functions analogously to PGRL1 in enhancing PGR5-dependent cyclic electron flow

In Arabidopsis, PGR5 and PGRL1 heterodimers enable cyclic electron flow to safeguard photosystem I during high light intensity. Here, the authors provide evidence that cyanobacteria, while lacking an obvious PGRL1 homologue, use an analogous PGRL1-like protein to facilitate cyclic electron flow.
