Subcellular localization of the Poa semilatent virus cysteine-rich {gamma}b protein was studied by using different approaches. In infected tissue, {gamma}b was detected mainly in the P30 fraction as monomers, dimers and oligomers. Green fluorescent protein-fused {gamma}b was found to localize in punctate bodies in the cytoplasm. Colocalization with marker proteins demonstrated that these bodies represent peroxisomes. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that {gamma}b was localized in the peroxisomal matrix and that localization of {gamma}b in peroxisomes required the C-terminal signal tripeptide SKL. An SKL-deletion mutant exhibited a diffuse localization, but retained the protein's ability to suppress RNA silencing, determine infection phenotype and support virus systemic spread. These data indicate that {gamma}b functions are not associated with the protein's localization to peroxisomes.
