Key Event Relationship Description
The initiation event is the reversibly or irreversibly interaction to any of the subunits in the mitochondrial complex V.
Inhibition of complex IV directly prevents the production of ATP in the mitochondria , because the catalyzing element isn’t functional anymore.
Threshold relationship = The cell can cope with inhibition of the various mitochondrial complexes and the following decreased OXPHOS depending on the number of mitochondria affected. The more mitochondria within a cell are perturbed, the lower the concentration of available ATP will become. The cell can influence the threshold at which these low ATP levels will become lethal, for example by upregulating the number of available mitochondria (biogenesis).

Biological Plausibility
It is broadly accepted that complex inhibition leads to decreased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
Deficiencies in complex I in patient leads to decreased activity of the complex
