Homozygous U2af50XR15 mutants display a temperature-sensitive phenotype when grown at a restrictive temperature (30oC). The homozygous females lay eggs with abnormal eggshell morphology, and the resultant mutant embryos fail to develop into larvae.
Germline clone analysis demonstrates cell lethality.
When mothers heterozygous for both snfJ210 and U2af50XR15 are crossed with SxlfP7B0 males, no significant reduction in viability is seen in SxlfP7B0/+ daughters.

U2af50+mBa efficiently rescues the U2af50XR15 deletion with a similar rescue percentage at both 25oC and 29oC. Crossing four transgenic lines containing U2af50D204N.ts with U2af50XR15 results in rescue of the U2af50XR15 phenotype in two of the lines (P{U2af50.D204N.ts}1 and P{U2af50.D204N.ts}4), with an optimal rescue of 39% at 25oC and 15% at 29oC in one of the lines (P{U2af50.D204N.ts}1). Crossing three transgenic lines containing U2af50S284Y.ts with U2af50XR15 results in rescue of the U2af50XR15 phenotype in two of the three lines (P{U2af50.S284Y.ts}1 and P{U2af50.S284Y.ts}2), with an optimal rescue of 96% at 25oC and 49% at 29oC in one of the lines (P{U2af50.S284Y.ts}2).
U2af38ΔE18 U2af50XR15 double mutants can be rescued by a combination of U2af50+tS12 and U2af38+t10 but not by a combination of U2af50ΔRS and U2af38ΔRS. Lethal combination could both be rescued by an identical synthetic RS domain by a combination of U2af50RS.7 and U2af38ΔRS.
