In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a novel restriction endonuclease and its DNA obtainable from Helicobacter pylori CH4 (NEB#1236), hereinafter referred to as "HpyCH4III", which endonuclease:(1) recognizes the nucleotide sequence 5'-ACNGT-3' in a double-stranded DNA molecule as shown below,5'-ACN↓GT-3'3'-TG↑NCA-5' (wherein G represents guanine, C represents cytosine, A represents adenine, T represents thymine and N represents either G, C, A, or T);(2) cleaves said sequence in the phosphodiester bonds between the N and G as indicated with the arrows; and(3) cleaves double-stranded PhiX174 DNA to produce 15 fragments, including fragments of 1284, 814, 536, 517, 454, 404, 302, 292, 270 and 222 base pairs, and 5 fragments smaller than 200 base pairs.
