Chromatin remodelers are important in maintaining the dynamic chromatin state in eukaryotic cells, which is essential for epigenetic regulation. Among the remodelers, the multi-subunits complex INO80 plays crucial roles in transcriptional regulation. However, current knowledge of chromatin regulation of the core subunit Ino80 on stress adaptation remains mysterious. Here we revealed that overexpressing the chromatin remodeler Ino80 elevated tolerance to multiple stresses in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analyses of differential chromatin accessibility and global transcription levels revealed an enrichment of genes involved in NCR (nitrogen catabolite repression) under acetic acid stress. We demonstrated that Ino80 overexpression reduced the histone H3 occupancy in the promoter region of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene GDH2 and the allantoinase gene DAL1. Consistently, the decreased occupancy of nucleosome was revealed in the Ino80-inactivation mutant. Further analyses showed that Ino80 was recruited to the specific DNA locus in the promoter region of GDH2. Consistently, Ino80 overexpression facilitated the utilization of non-preferred nitrogen source to enhance ethanol yield under prolonged acetic acid stress. These results demonstrate that Ino80 plays a crucial role in coordinating carbon and nitrogen metabolism during stress adaptation.
