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. The process by which the two exons of a pre-tRNA which has had the intron removed are rejoined where the splice junction phosphate is derived from the 2',3' cyclic phosphate at the 3'-end of the 5'-exon. This type of ligation to rejoin the 5' and 3' exons of a tRNA is observed in wheat, Chlamydomonas, and vertebrate species including humans. The process by which the two exons of a pre-tRNA which has had the intron removed are rejoined. The process of joining two exons, each of which has free ends that were generated by endonucleolytic cleavages, by a ligation reaction.
