The recognition sequence and cleavage positions of a new restriction endonuclease BTR:I isolated from Bacillus stearothermophilus SE-U62 have been determined. BTR:I belongs to a rare type IIQ of restriction endonucleases, which recognise non-palindromic nucleotide sequences and cleave DNA symmetrically within them.
