Transcription factor that may participate in the regulation of the expression of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of aurofusarin, a red mycelium pigment which is acting as a mycotoxin (PubMed:15809006, PubMed:16879655, PubMed:16461721). Expression is regulated by the aurofusarin biosynthesis cluster-specific transcription facto aurR1/GIP2 (PubMed:16461721).
