The origin of protein backbone threading through a topological knot remains elusive. To understand the evolutionary origin of protein knots, in this issue ofStructureKo et al. (2019) used circular permutation to untie a knotted protein. They showed that a domain-swapped dimer releases the knot and the associated high-energy state for substrate binding.
