Using a mathematical model of carbohydrate metabolism in Dictyostelium discoideum, the kinetic expressions describing the activities of glucokinase and glucose-6-P phosphatase have been analyzed. The constraints on the kinetic mechanisms and relative activities of these two enzymes were investigated by comparing computer simulations to experimental data. The results indicated that, (1) glucose-6-P is compartmentalized with respect to the enzymes involved in glucose-60P, trehalose and glycogen metabolism, (2) a differences of approximately 0.6 mM/min in maximum specific activity of glucokinase compared to glucose-6-P phosphatase is required in order for the model to produce end product carbohydrate levels consistent with those observed experimentally, (3) the Km of glucokinase for glucose strongly influences the steady state levels of glucose in the absence of external glucose, and (4) changing the order of product removal in the reaction catalyzed by glucose-6-P phosphatase influences the level of glycogen and trehalose.
