d ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes are essential for transcription regulation, and yet it is unclear how these multisubunit complexes coordinate their activities to facilitate diverse transcriptional responses. In this study, we found that the conserved Arp5 and Ies6 subunits of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae INO80 chromatin-remodeler form an abundant and distinct subcomplex in vivo and stimulate INO80-mediated activity in vitro. Moreover, our genomic studies reveal that the relative occupancy of Arp5-Ies6 correlates with nucleosome positioning at transcriptional start sites and expression levels of >1,000 INO80-regulated genes. Notably, these genes are significantly enriched in energy metabolism pathways. Specifically, arp5⌬, ies6⌬, and ino80⌬ mutants demonstrate decreased expression of genes involved in glycolysis and increased expression of genes in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Deregulation of these metabolic pathways results in constitutively elevated mitochondrial potential and oxygen consumption. Our results illustrate the dynamic nature of the INO80 complex assembly and demonstrate for the first time that a chromatin remodeler regulates glycolytic and respiratory capacity, thereby maintaining metabolic stability. E ukaryotic genomic DNA is assembled with histones to form chromatin, a complex structure that undergoes constant dynamic reorganization in coordination with DNA-templated processes. Chromatin remodeling, an ATP-dependent mechanism by which nucleosomes are repositioned and reconstructed, is a fundamental component of chromatin manipulation and influences numerous DNA-templated pathways. Because chromatin remodelers are involved in essential cellular processes, defects in remodeling activity directly result in fitness deficiencies in lower eukaryotes, as well as developmental defects and disease in higher eukaryotes (1, 2).In particular, disruption of INO80, an evolutionarily conserved chromatin remodeling complex, results in pluripotency defects and carcinogenesis (3-6). The INO80 complex has demonstrated roles in transcription (7-9), replication (10-12), DNA damage responses (13-16), telomere regulation (17), and mitotic stability (18,19). These studies exemplify the functional diversity of the INO80 complex in different pathways (20). Moreover, they highlight the need for regulatory mechanisms that direct its activity among, and within, these processes.Ample opportunities for regulation of chromatin remodeling exist at the level of individual remodeler complex subunits. For example, different subunits of the INO80 complex are involved in DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint responses (13, 16). Structural studies demonstrate that these subunits are components of different modules that interact with distinct domains of the S. cerevisiae Ino80 ATPase subunit (21) and thus may impart regulatory functions on ATP-dependent activities of the INO80 complex.For example, a module consisting of actin and actin-related proteins (Arps) Arp8 and Arp4 interacts with the helicase-associated...
