Acetylation of p53 is indispensable for its transcriptional activities and induction of apoptosis upon DNA damage. Here, we show that chromatin remodelling protein SMAR1 inhibits p53 acetylation and p53 dependent apoptosis by repressing p300 expression in response to DNA damage. The repression of p300 expression by SMAR1 is relieved upon treatment with proteosomal inhibitors MG132 and Lactacystin. We demonstrate that SMAR1 interacts with p53-p300 transcriptional complex and SMAR1 overexpression antagonizes p300 interaction with p53 and suppresses activation of p53 apoptotic targets and p53 regulated miRNA miR-34a. Conversely, knockdown of SMAR1 promotes p300 accumulation and p53 acetylation while ectopic expression of p300 rescues SMAR1 inhibition on p53. Collectively, these results indicate that SMAR1 is an important player in p300-p53 regulated DNA damage signalling pathway and can exert its effect on apoptosis in a transcription independent manner.
