title: PfoI, a unique type II restriction endonuclease that recognises the sequence 5'-T downward arrow CCNGGA-3'.
abstract: A new type II restriction endonuclease designated PfoI has been partially purified from Pseudomonas fluorescens biovar 126. PfoI recognises the interrupted hexanucleotide palindromic sequence 5'-T downward arrow CCNGGA-3' and cleaves DNA to produce protruding pentanucleotide 5'-ends.
