BrlA, abaA and wetA are pivotal regulators of conidiophore development and conidium maturation (By similarity). 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). A huge increase in expression is observed between the fourth and fifth day for solid and liquid cultures (PubMed:18093806).
