title: Two novel restriction endonucleases from Campylobacter jejuni.
abstract: We have discovered two unusual restriction endonuclease (ENases) in two Campylobacter jejuni strains that recognize asymmetrical, interrupted sequences and cleave the DNA both before and after their recognition sites. Both enzymes require AdoMet as a cofactor for their ENase activity.
