a Restriction Enzyme
Perhaps you mean a restriction enzyme, but not disrupting the function of whatever is not too clear. I think if you cut a plasmid with any restriction enzyme I am familiar with the function of that plasmid would be disrupted.
If the plasmid were cut at more than one site, it could result in the fragmenting of the plasmid into smaller pieces. This could lead to difficulties in maintaining the integrity of the plasmid during cloning processes, affecting the stability and functionality of the plasmid. Additionally, it may disrupt the insertion of foreign DNA or hinder the replication of the plasmid in host cells.
In the production of a recombinant plasmid, the DNA of interest (insert) and the plasmid vector are both cut with restriction enzymes to create compatible ends. These cut fragments are then ligated together using DNA ligase to produce the recombinant plasmid.
When producing a recombinant plasmid, the plasmid and foreign DNA are cut with the same restriction enzyme(s) to generate complementary sticky ends for ligation. Using different restriction enzymes would create incompatible ends that cannot be ligated together effectively, making it difficult to form a functional recombinant plasmid.
If a plasmid is cut at more than one site by restriction enzymes, it would result in multiple DNA fragments. These fragments can be ligated back together in different combinations, resulting in plasmids with different sizes or configurations. This can lead to the creation of recombinant plasmids with altered properties compared to the original plasmid.
Scientists use enzymes known as restriction endonucleases to cut plasmid DNA at specific sequences. These enzymes recognize and cleave DNA at specific sites, allowing researchers to manipulate the plasmid for various genetic engineering applications.

It would become fragments of DNA and no more the plasmid will be in circular form.

If there is a EcoR1 site in either the middle of the Glo gene, or in the middle of the selectable marker site in the plasmid, it would likely disable either Glo, or the plasmid.

To effectively insert a gene into a plasmid, one can use restriction enzymes to cut both the gene and the plasmid at specific sites. The cut gene can then be inserted into the plasmid, and DNA ligase can be used to seal the pieces together. This process is known as molecular cloning.
If a plasmid is cut at more than one site by restriction enzymes, it would result in multiple DNA fragments. These fragments can be ligated back together in different combinations, resulting in plasmids with different sizes or configurations. This can lead to the creation of recombinant plasmids with altered properties compared to the original plasmid.
Finding an enzyme that cuts the plasmid at only one site enables precise manipulation of the DNA sequence. This is important for inserting foreign DNA into the plasmid at the desired location without disrupting other essential genetic information. It also ensures that the resulting recombinant DNA retains its functionality.
A Jigsaw would be a good power tool to cut along a curved line.
