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 to the sequence 5'-CATTCY-3', where Y is a pyrimidine, making both major- and minor-groove contacts (By similarity). localizes to the nuclei of phialides and terminal cells of mature conidia (By similarity). Expression is also positively regulated by stuA (PubMed:21148688). Belongs to the TEC1 family.
