title: Recognition sequence of a new methyl-specific restriction system from Clostridium acetobutylicum strain ABKn8.
abstract: A new type II restriction endonuclease, named Cac8I was detected in Clostridium acetobutylicum strain ABKn8. Cac8I cleaved the hexanucleotide sequence [5'-GCN decreases NGC-3'] and generated blunt ends. Up to now no isoschizomer of Cac8I has been described [corrected].
