ItaI, an isoschizomer of the subclass IIW [Kessler and Manta, Gene 92 (1990) 1-248] restriction endonuclease (ENase), Fnu4HI [Leung et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 6 (1979) 17-25], has been isolated from Ilyobacter tartaricus. The ENase has the five-base palindromic recognition sequence, 5'GC decreases NGC-3'. It cleaves behind the second nucleotide and produces a one-nt 5' overhang.
