(2002). Since Cronwright et al. (2002) did not measure the concentrations of 13 glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and orthophosphate (P i), the concentration ranges of G3P and Pi were inferred from 14 concentrations reported in the literature and from typical ranges. The metabolite concentration ranges are listed 15 below: Metabolite Min. concentration Max. concentration Reference (M) (M) Dihydroxyacetone phosphatea 1.2 × 10-4 6.6 × 10-4 Cronwright et al.

The standard deviations in the 18 measured concentrations were subtracted (minimum concentration) or added (maximum concentration) to 19 consider the standard deviations in the range. This procedure ensured that the concentration range satisfactorily 20 covered the likely metabolite concentrations throughout the three growth phases 21 ′𝟎 Calculation of 𝜟𝒓 𝑮′𝟎 𝟏 and 𝜟𝒓 𝑮𝟐 from literature data 22 ′ The 𝛥𝑟 𝐺2′0 was calculated using the apparent equilibrium constant 𝐾𝐺𝑝𝑝 𝑝 of the glycerol-3-phosphatase reaction 23 at pH 7 and 308.15 K listed in Goldberg and Tewari (1994), which is based on Romero and de Meis (1989): Range was derived from the minimum and maximum concentrations measured by Cronwright et al.

Data are listed in Goldberg et al. (1993) and based on Young and 29 Pace (1958). 30 ′ First, we adjusted 𝐾𝐺𝑝𝑑 𝑝,𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒,𝑇1 =309.7 𝐾 to its appropriate value at 308.15 K to ensure equal reaction conditions 31 for both of the studied reactions (Gpd p and Gpp p at pH 7 and 308.15 K). The adjustment was made by 32 ′0 integrating Van’t Hoff’s equation, assuming that Δ𝑟 𝐻𝐺𝑝𝑑 𝑝,𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒 is independent of temperature: 33 ln ( 34 (S2a) 35 Converting Eq.

(S1): 47 ′ −3 𝛥𝑟 𝐺1′0 = −𝑅 ∙ 𝑇 ∙ ln(𝐾𝐺𝑝𝑑 𝑝,𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑,𝑇2 =308.15 𝐾 ) = −8.31451 ∙ 10 48 = −26.5 (S3) 𝑘𝐽 ∙ 308.15 𝐾 ∙ ln(3.072 ∙ 104 ) 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐾 𝑘𝐽 𝑚𝑜𝑙 49 Generating 𝜟𝒓 𝑮′𝟏 and 𝜟𝒓 𝑮′𝟐 combinations by sampling the metabolite concentrations in logarithmic space 50 For compatibility with the Artificial-Centering Hit-and-Run sampler within the MATLAB function cprnd 51 (programmed by Benham (2011) based on Kaufman and Smith (1998)), the sampling task was formulated as: 𝚫𝐫 𝐆′𝟎 52 𝐍 𝐓 ∙ ln(𝐜) < − 53 ln(𝐜𝐦𝐢𝐧 ) < ln(𝐜) < ln(𝐜𝐦𝐚𝐱 ) 𝑅∙𝑇 (S4) (S5) 54 where 𝐜𝐦𝐢𝐧 and 𝐜𝐦𝐚𝐱 are the vectors of minimum and maximum metabolite concentrations, respectively. Without 55 the constraint 𝚫𝐫 𝐆′ < 𝟎, the algorithm uniformly samples the natural logarithms of the metabolite concentrations 56 over their restricted ranges (see Eq. (S5)). Under the constraint 𝚫𝐫 𝐆′ < 𝟎, we obtained 4 × 106 combinations of 57 the two transformed Gibbs energies of reaction 𝛥𝑟 𝐺1′ and 𝛥𝑟 𝐺2′ (see Fig. 3 in the main text). The natural 58 logarithms of the metabolite concentrations were sampled as follows (each logarithm was sampled 4 × 106 59 times): 3 60 61 Under the constraint 𝚫𝐫 𝐆′ < 𝟎 (Eq. (1) in the main text), the natural logarithms of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), 62 glycerol and orthophosphate (Pi) were not uniformly sampled over their restricted ranges. These three 4 63 metabolites are involved in the glycerol-3-phosphatase reaction (Gpp p, reaction 2). As mentioned in the main 64 text, some combinations of constrained concentration values were not allowed to fulfill 𝚫𝐫 𝐆′ < 𝟎 (e.g. high 65 product concentrations (glycerol and P i), low reactant concentrations (G3P) or a combination of both). Therefore, 66 high product concentrations (glycerol and P i) and low reactant concentrations (G3P) were less frequently 67 sampled (see histograms above). 68 Calculation of scaled elasticity values for determining the scaled flux control coefficients 69 In this study, the scaled elasticity values were calculated using two sampling approaches: 70 In case (i), the scaled elasticities were uniformly sampled and correlated within defined ranges (Steuer et al. 71 𝐯 2006; Grimbs et al. 2007). The scaled elasticities in 𝐄𝐆𝟑𝐏 were related as follows: 𝑣 72 +,1 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 ∈ (0, −1) 73 −,1 +,1 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 = 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 + 1 ∈ (0, 1) 74 +,2 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 ∈ (0, 1) 75 −,2 +,2 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 = 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 − 1 ∈ (0, −1) 𝑣 (S6) 𝑣 (S7) 𝑣 𝑣 (S8) 𝑣 (S9) 𝑣 76 +,1 where (for example) 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 denotes the sensitivity of flux 𝑣+,1 to the metabolite concentration of glycerol-3- 77 +,1 +,2 phosphate (G3P). To generate the 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 and 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 values, pseudorandom numbers were drawn from the standard 78 uniform distribution on the open interval (0,-1) or (0,1), respectively, using the rand function of MATLAB 79 −,1 −,2 +,1 +,2 (version 8.1.0.604). The values of 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 and 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 immediately follow from the 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 and 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 (see Eqs. (S7) 80 and (S9)). The scaled elasticity values in case (i) were obtained by this procedure. 81 In case (ii), the scaled metabolite concentrations were calculated by uniformly sampling the degrees of saturation 82 of active sites. The scaled metabolite concentrations were inserted in scaled elasticity expressions derived from 83 𝐯 enzyme kinetic rate laws to determine the scaled elasticities in 𝐄𝐆𝟑𝐏 (Wang et al. 2004). 84 The general expression for the degree of saturation of an active site 𝜎𝐴 is given by (Wang et al. 2004; 85 Chakrabarti et al. 2013): 86 𝑣 𝑣 𝑣 𝜎𝐴 = 𝑣 [𝐴𝑆] [𝐴𝑇 ] = 𝑣 [𝑆] 𝐾𝑀 [𝑆] +1 𝐾𝑀 with [𝐴 𝑇 ] = [𝐴] + [𝐴𝑆] 𝑣 (S10) 5 87 where 𝜎𝐴 denotes the ratio of the concentration of the active site-substrate complex [𝐴𝑆] to the total 88 concentration of the active site [𝐴 𝑇 ] ([𝐴] is the concentration of the free active site). Eq. (S10) can be rearranged 89 in terms of the scaled metabolite concentration [𝑆] 90 91 𝐾𝑀 : 𝜎𝐴 1−𝜎𝐴 (S11a) [𝑆] 92 93 = [𝑆] 𝐾𝑀 𝐾𝑀 ≔𝑠 (S11b) 94 Using Eq. (S11a), we can generate random independent samples of the scaled metabolite concentration 𝑠 by 95 uniformly sampling the degree of saturation of an active site 𝜎𝐴 between 0 and 1 (𝜎𝐴 ≈ 0, approximately non- 96 saturated; 𝜎𝐴 ≈ 1, nearly fully saturated). As above, the degrees of saturation of active sites were sampled by 97 MATLAB’s rand function. Details of the scaled metabolite concentration concept are provided in Wang et al. 98 (2004) and Chakrabarti et al. (2013). 99 Finally, the scaled elasticity values are computed using the following expressions, which depend on the scaled 100 metabolite concentrations. Our aim was to evaluate the methodology and examine the influence of the enzyme 101 kinetics on the flux control coefficients. Therefore, we assumed no specific knowledge of the enzyme kinetic 102 rate laws governing reactions 1 and 2 (cf. Cronwright et al. (2002)). 103 The scaled elasticity expressions were based on the following reaction equations and the convenience rate law of 104 Liebermeister and Klipp (2006): 105 Reaction 1: 𝐷𝐻𝐴𝑃 + 𝑁𝐴𝐷𝐻 ↔ 𝐺3𝑃 + 𝑁𝐴𝐷 106 Reaction 2: 𝐺3𝑃 ↔ 𝑃𝑖 + 𝐺𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 107 In reaction 2, water was disregarded as a reactant in the rate equations (as implemented in Cronwright et al. 108 (2002)). Based on these two stoichiometries and the convenience rate law of Liebermeister and Klipp (2006), we 109 derived the following rate equations for the forward and backward fluxes: 110 𝑣+,1 = 𝑣𝑚𝑎𝑥,+,1 ∙ 111 𝑣−,1 = 𝑣𝑚𝑎𝑥,−,1 ∙ 𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝∙𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ 1+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝+𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝∙𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑔3𝑝(1) +𝑛𝑎𝑑+𝑔3𝑝(1) ∙𝑛𝑎𝑑 𝑔3𝑝(1) ∙𝑛𝑎𝑑 1+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝+𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝∙𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑔3𝑝(1) +𝑛𝑎𝑑+𝑔3𝑝(1) ∙𝑛𝑎𝑑 (S12) (S13) 6 112 113 𝑣+,2 = 𝑣𝑚𝑎𝑥,+,2 ∙ (S14) 114 115 𝑔3𝑝(2) 1+𝑔3𝑝(2) +𝑝𝑖 +𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙+𝑝𝑖 ∙𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 𝑣−,2 = 𝑣𝑚𝑎𝑥,−,2 ∙ 𝑝𝑖 ∙𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 1+𝑔3𝑝(2) +𝑝𝑖 +𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙+𝑝𝑖 ∙𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 (S15) 116 where (e.g. in reaction 1) 𝑔3𝑝(1) denotes the scaled metabolite concentration of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) 117 given by Eq. (S11b) ([𝐺3𝑃]/𝐾𝑀,𝐺3𝑃,1 ) and 𝑣𝑚𝑎𝑥,+,1 and 𝑣𝑚𝑎𝑥,−,1 are the maximal forward and maximal 118 backward rates of reaction 1, respectively. In reaction 2, 𝑔3𝑝(2) denotes the scaled metabolite concentration of 119 glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) ([𝐺3𝑃]/𝐾𝑀,𝐺3𝑃,2 ). In the rate laws (S12) and (S13), we neglected any modifiers of 120 the inhibitors ATP, ADP and F16BP (fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) because no a priori knowledge of the enzyme 121 kinetics is assumed (cf. Cronwright et al. (2002)). 122 The scaled elasticity expressions of these rate equations (Eqs. (S12)–(S15)), with respect to glycerol-3- 123 phosphate, are given by 𝑣 124 +,1 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 = 125 −,1 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 = 126 +,2 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 = 𝑣 𝑣 127 −𝑔3𝑝(1) ∙(1+𝑛𝑎𝑑) 1+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝+𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝∙𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑔3𝑝(1) +𝑛𝑎𝑑+𝑔3𝑝(1) ∙𝑛𝑎𝑑 1+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝+𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝∙𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑛𝑎𝑑 1+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝+𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑝∙𝑛𝑎𝑑ℎ+𝑔3𝑝(1) +𝑛𝑎𝑑+𝑔3𝑝(1) ∙𝑛𝑎𝑑 (S16) (S17) 1+𝑝𝑖 +𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙+𝑝𝑖 ∙𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 1+𝑔3𝑝(2) +𝑝𝑖 +𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙+𝑝𝑖 ∙𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 (S18) 𝑣 −,2 𝐸𝐺3𝑃 = 128 129 −𝑔3𝑝(2) 1+𝑔3𝑝(2) +𝑝𝑖 +𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙+𝑝𝑖 ∙𝑔𝑙𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑙 (S19) 130 Calculation of scaled flux control coefficients related to the steady-state net flux 131 The scaled flux control coefficients related to the forward and backward fluxes are computed by applying Eq. (9) 132 in the main text. Subsequently, the scaled flux control coefficient related to the steady-state net flux is calculated 133 in terms of the scaled flux control coefficients related to the forward and backward fluxes as follows (shown for 134 reaction 1): 7 𝑣 𝑣 𝐶𝑒1𝑛𝑒𝑡 = 𝐶𝑒1+,1 ∙ 135 136 𝑣+,1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 𝑣 − 𝐶𝑒1−,1 ∙ 𝑣−,1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 (S20) 137 A derivation of Eq. (S20) follows: 138 Beginning with the established equation of steady-state net flux (Eq. (5) in the main text): 139 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 = 𝑣+,1 − 𝑣−,1 140 (S20a) 141 we construct the partial derivative of Eq. (S20a) with respect to 𝑒1 : 𝜕𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 142 𝜕𝑒1 143 144 𝜕𝑒1 = 𝜕𝑣+,1 𝜕𝑒1 − 𝜕𝑣−,1 𝜕𝑒1 (S20b) Multiplying Eq. (S20b) by 𝑒1 /𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑒1 /𝑣+,1 ∙ 𝑒1 /𝑣−,1 , we obtain 𝜕𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 145 146 𝜕(𝑣+,1 −𝑣−,1 ) = 𝜕𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣+,1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣−,1 = 𝜕𝑣+,1 𝜕𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣+,1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣−,1 − 𝜕𝑣−,1 𝜕𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣+,1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣−,1 (S20c) 𝑣 𝑣 𝑣 147 Next, denoting 𝜕𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 /𝜕𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 /𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 , 𝜕𝑣+,1 /𝜕𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 /𝑣+,1 and 𝜕𝑣−,1 /𝜕𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 /𝑣−,1 as 𝐶𝑒1𝑛𝑒𝑡 , 𝐶𝑒1+,1 and 𝐶𝑒1−,1 , 148 respectively, we obtain 𝑣 𝐶𝑒1𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 149 150 𝑒1 𝑣+,1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣−,1 𝑣 = 𝐶𝑒1+,1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣−,1 𝑣 − 𝐶𝑒1−,1 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣𝑛𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝑒1 𝑣+,1 . (S20d) 151 Multiplying Eq. (S20d) by 𝑣+,1 ∙ 𝑣−,1 and canceling out the 𝑒1 ∙ 𝑒1 terms, we obtain Eq. (S20). 152 Combinations of thermodynamically feasible disequilibrium ratios 𝝆𝟏 and 𝝆𝟐 (converted from the 𝜟𝒓 𝑮′𝟏 153 and 𝜟𝒓 𝑮′𝟐 values; see Fig. 3 in the main text) 8 154 155 156 References for Supporting Information 157 Auesukaree C, Homma T, Tochio H, Shirakawa M, Kaneko Y, Harashima S (2004) Intracellular phosphate 158 serves as a signal for the regulation of the PHO Pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
