Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method for cloning and producing the SacII restriction endonuclease by 1) introducing the restriction endonuclease gene from Streptomyces achromogenes into a host whereby the restriction gene is expressed; 2) fermenting the host which contains the plasmid encoding and expressing the SacII restriction endonuclease activity, and 3) purifying the SacII restriction endonuclease from the fermented host which contains the plasmid encoding and expressing the SacII restriction endonuclease activity.
