The p53 tumor suppressor is an indispensable regulator of DNA damage responses that accelerates carcinogenesis when mutated. In this report, we uncover a new mechanism by which p53 maintains genomic integrity in the absence of canonical DNA damage response activation. Specifically, loss of p53 dramatically alters chromatin structure at the nuclear periphery, allowing increased transmission of an environmental carcinogen, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, into the nucleus. Genome-wide mapping of UV-induced DNA lesions in p53-deficient primary cells reveals elevated lesion abundance in regions corresponding to locations of high mutation burden in malignant melanomas. These findings uncover a novel role of p53 in the suppression of mutations that contribute to cancer and highlight the critical influence of nuclear architecture in regulating sensitivity to carcinogens. One-Sentence SummaryThe p53 tumor suppressor reduces carcinogen sensitivity and mutagenic potential by maintaining nuclear architecture.
