Makes me wonder if this was discovered in mice engineered for inducible gene expression. TET/doxy mice are commonly used in experiments where you want to selectively turn on or off a particular gene.

I might be wrong, but I think that TET enzymes and the Tet-Off/Tet-On system are not related.

Yeah TET here is ten-eleven translocation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TET_enzymes), not tetracycline (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetracycline-controlled_transc...).
