1 Despite having similar affinities for the signaling-inactive (GDP-bound) and signaling-active (GTP-bound) forms of Cdc42 in solution, we show that when RhoGDI interacts with Cdc42 along the membrane surface, it has a much higher affinity for GDP-bound Cdc42 compared with its GTP-bound counterpart.

4 These findings lead us to propose a new model for how RhoGDI influences the ability of Cdc42 to move between membranes and the cytosol, which highlights the role of the membrane in helping RhoGDI to distinguish between the GDP- and GTP-bound forms of Cdc42 and holds important implications for how it functions as a key regulator of the cellular localization and signaling activities of this GTPase.
