negative regulation of strand invasion

Term ID
GO:0060543
Synonyms
  • negative regulation of D-loop biosynthesis
  • negative regulation of D-loop formation
  • negative regulation of Rad51-mediated strand invasion
Definition
Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of strand invasion. Strand invasion is the process in which the nucleoprotein complex (composed of the broken single-strand DNA and the recombinase) searches and identifies a region of homology in intact duplex DNA. The broken single-strand DNA displaces the like strand and forms Watson-Crick base pairs with its complement, forming a duplex in which each strand is from one of the two recombining DNA molecules.
