AbstractRunt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) is critical for the development of the vertebrate bony skeleton. Unlike other RUNX family members, RUNX2 possesses a variable poly-glutamine, poly-alanine (QA) repeat domain. Natural variation within this repeat is able to alter the transactivation potential of RUNX2, acting as an evolutionary ‘tuning knob’ suggested to influence mammalian skull shape. However, the broader role of the RUNX2 QA repeat throughout vertebrate evolution is unknown. In this perspective, we examine the role of the RUNX2 QA repeat during skeletal development and discuss how its emergence and expansion may have facilitated the evolution of morphological novelty in vertebrates.

Mammalian Skull

The subject of the present paper is a somewhat imperfect Mammalian skull, together with a right and left mandibular ramus, apparently belonging to the same specimen, discovered by Mr. J. T. Last (collector for the Hon. Lionel Walter de Rothschild), in a marsh at Ambolisatra, on the south-west coast of Madagascar, beneath a stratum of a white clayey substance (shell-marl ?) from 18 in. to 2 ft. in thickness. At first sight the skull appears to have no relation whatever with any known Mammalian group, either existing or extinct.

Flat Arch

The stresses exerted in the alveolar process are transmitted onto other parts of the skull by means of arches or resisted lacally. The arches are: (a) long, (b) short, and (c) flat. Accordingly, the functional taxonomy of the mammalian skull is based on the conception of the breviarcuate skull (short arch), the longoarcuate skull (long arch), and the planoarcuate skull (flat arch). The structural evolution of these types from the primitive skull is illustrated and described.
