Loss of mitochondrial electron transport chain function and/or misfolded proteins in mitochondrial matrix induces expression of genes through decreases in mitochondrial membrane potential. Sustained loss of mitochondrial membrane potential can invoke mitophagy, a process to eliminate dysfunctional mitochondria.
