The Plasmodium helical interspersed subtelomeric proteins (PHIST) or ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigens (RESA) are a family of protein domains found in the malaria-causing Plasmodium species. It was initially identified as a short four-helical conserved region in the single-domain export proteins,[1] but the identification of this part associated with a DnaJ domain in P. falciparum RESA (named after the ring stage of the parasite) has led to its reclassification as the RESA N-terminal domain. This domain has been classified into three subfamilies, PHISTa, PHISTb, and PHISTc.[2]
The PHIST proteins are exported to the cytoplasm of the infected erythrocyte. The human malaria parasites P. falciparum and P. vivax have shown a lineage-specific expansion of proteins with this domain.[1] Of the two PHIST genes in the mouse parasite P. berghei, only one is required for infection.[3] The PHIST domain folds into three long helices (forming a bundle) and two smaller N-terminal helices, and is monomeric in solution. It binds PfEMP1 ATS C-terminus and plays a role in "knob" formation.[4]

The full RESA protein in P. falciparum also contains a few other domains, namely the DnaJ domain and the DnaJ-associated X domain. A part of the X-domain, RESA/P13830663-670, appears to bind and reinforce spectrin cytoskeleton so that each erythrocyte only hosts one parasite.[5]
