BrlA, abaA and wetA are pivotal regulators of conidiophore development and conidium maturation (PubMed:25530311). They act individually and together to regulate their own expression and that of numerous other sporulation-specific genes (By similarity). Binds promoters of target genes at brlA response elements (BREs) containing the conserved sequence 5'-(C/A)(A/G)AGGG(G/A)-3' (By similarity). Regulates genes involved in conidiogenesis (PubMed:25530311). Expression is positively regulated by SNF1 (PubMed:23296496). Completely destroys asexual development, resulting in masses of vegetative hyphae that branched into the air and formation of white cotton-like colonies (PubMed:25530311).
