Mature poly(A) tail length is determined by kinetic competition between CPAC-mediated tail elongation and Nab2 RNA binding rather than by the Nab2 RNA footprint.

Variations in Nab2 RNA-binding rate can shift poly(A) tail lengths, but in cells these effects are buffered by autoregulation of Nab2 protein concentration.
