A new restriction endonuclease (ENase), SgfI, has been isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces sp. SgfI recognizes the 8-bp palindrome 5'-GCGATCGC-3' and cleaves double-stranded DNA after the T in this sequence, producing a two-base 3' overhang compatible with PvuI termini. SgfI is a rare-cutting ENase and should be useful for megabase mapping experiments.
