Mitochondrial gene expression is predominantly regulated at the post-transcriptional level and mitochondrial ribonucleic acid (RNA)-binding proteins play a key role in RNA metabolism and protein synthesis. The AU-binding homolog of enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydratase (AUH) is a bifunctional protein with RNA-binding activity and a role in leucine catabolism. AUH has a mitochondrial targeting sequence, however, its role in mitochondrial function has not been investigated. Here, we found that AUH localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and matrix where it associates with mitochondrial ribosomes and regulates protein synthesis. Decrease or overexpression of the AUH protein in cells causes defects in mitochondrial translation that lead to changes in mitochondrial morphology, decreased mitochondrial RNA stability, biogenesis and respiratory function. Because of its role in leucine metabolism, we investigated the importance of the catalytic activity of AUH and found that it affects the regulation of mitochondrial translation and biogenesis in response to leucine.
