Rho GTPases control cell morphogenesis and thus fundamental processes in all eukaryotes.They are regulated by 145 RhoGEF and RhoGAP multi-domain proteins in humans. How the Rho signaling system is organized to generate localized responses in cells and prevent their spreading is not understood. Here, we systematically characterized the substrate specificities, localization and interactome of the RhoGEFs/RhoGAPs and revealed their critical role in contextualizing and spatially delimiting Rho signaling. They localize to multiple compartments providing positional information, are extensively interconnected to jointly coordinate their signaling networks and are widely autoinhibited to remain sensitive to local activation.RhoGAPs exhibit lower substrate specificity than RhoGEFs and may contribute to preserving Rho activity gradients. Our approach led us to uncover a multi-RhoGEF complex downstream of G-protein-coupled receptors controlling a Cdc42/RhoA crosstalk. The spatial organization of Rho signaling thus differs from other small GTPases and expands the repertoire of mechanisms governing localized signaling activity.
