Blue light–mediated regulation of the PLP-GGP interaction regulates ascorbate synthesis. PLP protein binds GGP, leading to its deactivation. However, blue light exposure deactivates PLP, leading to activation of GGP and thus ascorbate accumulation. Adapted from Bournonville et al. (2023), Figure 7.
