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. Any process involved in the conversion of one or more primary RNA transcripts into one or more mature RNA molecules. The chemical reactions and pathways involving tRNA, transfer RNA, a class of relatively small RNA molecules responsible for mediating the insertion of amino acids into the sequence of nascent polypeptide chains during protein synthesis. Transfer RNA is characterized by the presence of many unusual minor bases, the function of which has not been completely established. Any process that results in the conversion of one or more primary non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts into one or more mature ncRNA molecules. The chemical reactions and pathways involving non-coding RNA transcripts (ncRNAs). Generation of the mature 5'-end of the tRNA, usually via an endonucleolytic cleavage by RNase P. The process by which the 3' end of a pre-tRNA molecule is converted to that of a mature tRNA. The covalent alteration of one or more nucleotides within a tRNA molecule to produce a tRNA molecule with a sequence that differs from that coded genetically. The process by which a pre-tRNA molecule is converted to a mature tRNA, ready for addition of an aminoacyl group.
