Revised Manuscript Received November 28, 1989 abstract: Lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) from the retinyl pigment epithelium is potently inhibited by-ínms-retinyl-bromoacetate inthe micromolar range. The inhibition is competitive and reversible. The retinyl pigment epithelium also contains an enzymatic activity capable of converting added all-ira/M-retinol into 11-m-retinol. This isomerization is likely to require the intermediateformation of all-trans-TQtiny\esters, which are themselves produced by LRAT action. Here this possibility is directly tested bystudying the effect of aZZ-ira/is-retinyl-bromoacetate on the isomerization reaction. When pigment epithelium membranes are preincubated with c/Z-irons-retinyl-bromoacetate, they form neither retinyl esters nor 11-m-retinol from added all-trans-retinol. However, if the pigment epithelium membranes are first allowed to form all-trans-retinyl esters from all-trans-retinol beforethe addition of all-trans-rzúny\-bromoacetate, then 11-m-retinol formation proceeds at close to the ratefound in the absence of inhibitor. In addition, 11-m-retinyl esters are not formed under these conditions, eliminating the possibility of a direct ester-ester isomerization route. Therefore, all-trans-retinyl esters are obligate intermediates in the biosynthesis of 11-m-retinol.
