does someone know a paper where authors engineered the arabinose induction system of prokaryotic organisms in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, like an IPTG induction system, for orthogonal gene expression?
This process will require specific types of engineered adaptors to lodge your promoter into where you targeted. You should design a specific construct for this case.
It is possible but the inducible promoter to be engineered required both controllable gene expression and disruption tools due to complex cell wall and anaerobic growth conditions of yeast
First of all there are inducible promoter systems in yeast already so I'm not sure why you would not use a native one (ADH, galactose, many others).
It is possible to use lacI repressor to act as an inducible repressor in eukaryotic systems, that has been done because you merely need to engineer the operator binding site into a region of the promoter where repressor binding would interfere. IPTG induction will work in any system. However it is not that broadly used, but the tetracycline inducible system is fairly commonly used.
Arabinose is more problematic because in E. coli the arabinose system is a positively regulated system where AraC protein acts as a positive effector of transcription. Eukaryote and prokaryote polymerases are too different to expect the Arabinose system to work as a positive effector so I would not expect it to work unless you were only going to use it as a repressor like with LacI.
