Eukaryotes use adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes to regulate gene expression. Here, we show that inositol polyphosphates can modulate the activities of several chromatin-remodeling complexes in vitro. Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP 6 ) inhibits nucleosome mobilization by NURF, ISW2, and INO80 complexes. In contrast, nucleosome mobilization by the yeast SWI/SNF complex is stimulated by inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP 4 ) and inositol pentakisphosphate (IP 5 ). We demonstrate that mutations in genes encoding inositol polyphosphate kinases that produce IP 4 , IP 5 , and IP 6 impair transcription in vivo. These results provide a link between inositol polyphosphates, chromatin remodeling, and gene expression.
