Treatment of baculovirus infected cells with the toxin a-amanitin, which inhibits RNA polymerase II, does not reduce levels of the viral late transcripts.Which of the following explains why?
A) Baculoviruses use the cellular RNA polymerase III to transcribe their late genes.
B) Baculoviruses produce their own RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
C) Baculoviruses produce their own DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
D) Baculoviruses produce such high levels of the late mRNAs that the inhibition does not matter.
E) Insect cells do not use RNA polymerase II to transcribe their genes.
