    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on tRNA processing pathways.
    • Analysis of enzyme specificities and properties.
    • Speculative analysis of unidentified enzymes and machinery.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description of the tRNA maturation pathway.
    • Discussion of the roles and characteristics of identified processing enzymes.
    • Identification of gaps in knowledge regarding specific enzymes and machinery.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant progress in understanding tRNA processing pathways.
    • Further research is needed to identify all involved enzymes and their mechanisms.
    • Elucidation of the structural organization of tRNA processing machinery is a key future direction.
