By developing a coarse-grained computer model we find that clustering promotes the channel closure, which is highly dependent on the channel concentration and membrane stress. This behaviour yields a tightly regulated gating system, whereby at high tensions channels gate individually, and at lower tensions the channels spontaneously aggregate and inactivate. We implement this positive feedback into the model for cell volume regulation, and find that the channel clustering protects the cell against excessive loss of cytoplasmic content.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1103/physrevlett.124.048102","year":"2020","day":"31","article_number":"048102","article_processing_charge":"No","publication_status":"published","scopus_import":"1","pmid":1,"article_type":"original","oa_version":"Preprint","type":"journal_article","volume":124,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/553248","open_access":"1"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1079-7114"],"issn":["0031-9007"]},"publisher":"American Physical Society","issue":"4"}
