Apparently so.  A quick search through the latest release of rebase shows
about 100 enzymes with cleavage points at the end of their recognition
sequence.  A few examples are shown below ....

	 BscFI     0 'GATC_         4 
	 Bsp143I   0 'GATC_         4 
	BssKI      0 'CCnGG_        5 
	 BstENII   0 'GATC_         4 
	 DpnII     0 'GATC_         4 
	 EcoHI     0 'CCsGG_        5 
	 EcoRII    0 'CCwGG_        5 
	BciVI     12 GTATCCnnnnn_n'  -1
