Title: Cushing's syndrome mutant PKAL205R exhibits altered substrate specificity

Abstract

The PKA L 205R hotspot mutation has been implicated in Cushing's syndrome through hyperactive gain‐of‐function PKA signaling; however, its influence on substrate specificity has not been investigated. Here, we employ the Proteomic Peptide Library (ProPeL) approach to create high‐resolution models for PKA WT and PKA L 205R substrate specificity. We reveal that the L205R mutation reduces canonical hydrophobic preference at the substrate P + 1 position, and increases acidic preference in downstream positions. Using these models, we designed peptide substrates that exhibit altered selectivity for specific PKA variants, and demonstrate the feasibility of selective PKA L 205R loss‐of‐function signaling. Through these results, we suggest that substrate rewiring may contribute to Cushing's syndrome disease etiology, and introduce a powerful new paradigm for investigating mutation‐induced kinase substrate rewiring in human disease.
