BrlA, abaA and wetA are pivotal regulators of conidiophore development and conidium maturation (PubMed:19850144). They act individually and together to regulate their own expression and that of numerous other sporulation-specific genes (By similarity). Binds to the sequence 5'-CATTCY-3', where Y is a pyrimidine, making both major- and minor-groove contacts (By similarity). Controls expression of wetA (PubMed:19850144). localizes to the nuclei of phialides and terminal cells of mature conidia (By similarity). Expression is controlled by brlA (PubMed:19850144). Forms aberrant phialides (PubMed:19850144). Belongs to the TEC1 family. The predicted 2 genes AO090003000856 and AO090003000857 have been merged.
