TL;DR
A computer search of available protein sequences and structures suggests that bacteriophage T4 lysozyme contains one region and that rabbit myosin light chains contain three regions similar, and supposedly homologous, to the calcium binding region of carp muscle calcium binding parvalbumin.

NatureElectrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode
33,663 Citations1972Akira Fujishima, Kenichi Honda
Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.

The structure of crystalline carp muscle calcium-binding protein (parvalbumin) has been determined by x-ray diffraction techniques to nominal 1.85-A resolution and the electron density map is interpreted in terms of the 108 amino acid sequence described in Paper I in this series.

The tentative amino-acid sequence and three-dimensional structure of the lectin concanavalin A have been determined and the point of cleavage for the formation of the naturally occurring fragments A(1) and A(2), have been tentatively assigned.

It is proposed that the difference in regulation of these systems is that the interaction between myosin and actin is prevented by blocking sites on actin in the case of vertebrate muscles, whereas in the cases of molluscan muscles it is the sites on myOSin which are blocked in the absence of calcium.
European Journal of BiochemistryThe Amino-Acid Sequence of the Alkali Light Chains of Rabbit Skeletal-Muscle Myosin
292 Citations1974Alan G. Weeds, Gerhard Frank
The amino-acid sequence of the alkali light chain 1 (Al) of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin has been determined and compared with the sequences of the smaller but related alkala light chain 2 (A2), and it was concluded that either A2 was a degraded fragment of A1 or the two proteins showed an exceptionally high degree of homology.

NatureStructural homology of myosin alkali light chains, troponin C and carp calcium binding protein
171 Citations1974Alan G. Weeds, A. McLachlan
Sequence comparison between the myosin alkali light chain, troponin C and carp calcium binding protein shows that the pattern of hydrophobic residues which forms the core of calcium bindingprotein is preserved in both tropon in C and myos in alkaliLight chain.

GENE duplication was first observed cytologically in the bar gene of drosophila and has been used to explain the obvious repeats in amino-acid sequence in the immunoglobulins, in bacterial ferredoxin, in haptoglobin α-2 and in neurophysin.

The “alkali” light chains of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin have been compared with troponin-C from the same source, and both of these are compared with parvalbumins from pike, hake and carp, indicating that these proteins all evolved from a common ancestor.

Evidence is presented which shows that a myosin-linked regulatory system is not confined to invertebrates but is also present in smooth muscles of higher vertebrates.

88 Citations1974John Kendrick‐Jones
The evidence that rabbit DTNB light chains bind to ‘desensitised’ scallop myosin and restore calcium sensitivity may suggest that these light chains are involved in some type of calcium regulatory mechanism in rabbitMyosin in vivo.
