Term Name: tRNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation
Synonyms: tRNA-Y splicing
Definition: Splicing of tRNA substrates via recognition of the folded RNA structure that brings the 5' and 3' splice sites into proximity and cleavage of the RNA at both the 3' and 5' splice sites by an endonucleolytic mechanism, followed by ligation of the exons.
