The invention discloses a method for protecting efficient recombinant expression of restriction enzymes by virtue of methylase. The method is characterized in that the methylase is M.Sss I; and the restriction enzymes D are selected from AatII, AciI, AclI, AfeI, AgeI, AscI, AsiSI, AvaI, BceAI, BmgBI, BsaAI, BsaHI, BsiEI, BsiWI, BsmBI, BspDI, BspEI, BsrFI, BssHII, BstBI, BstUI, BtgZI, ClaI, EagI, FauI, FseI, FspI, HaeII, HgaI, HhaI, HinP1I, HpaII, Hpy99I, HpyCH4IV, KasI, MluI, NaeI, NarI, NgoMIV, NotI, NruI, Nt.BsmAI, Nt.CviPII, PaeR7I, PluTI, PmlI, PvuI, RsrII, SacII, SalI, SfoI, SgrAI, SmaI, SnaBI, TliI, TspMI, XhoI, XmaI and ZraI. According to the method provided by the invention, the broad-spectrum protective methylase M.Sss I is directly adopted in a recombinant engineering bacterium construction process, without conducting complex methylase gene screening on a single restriction enzyme, so that the method is broad in application scope and is capable of greatly simplifying a recombinant expression process.
