No, eukaryotic cells do not have restriction endonucleases. This is because the DNA of eukaryotes is highly methylated by a modification enzyme, called methylase. Methylation protects the DNA from the activity of restriction enzymes .These enzymes are present in prokaryotic cells where they help prevent the invasion of DNA by virus.

are u tonight....i wanna cum inside u adriana
so what about apn1 isolated from yeast and topoisomarase in our DNA .so i think ans is yes ,euk... have endo.....
I am not happy with the answer.... like I am nt sure abt it
This is not true. Some eukaryotic organisms, for example yeasts, have restriction enzymes to protect their DNA from environmental damege. Even humans have some.
