Ribosomal RNA is the central component of the ribosome, mediating its functional and architectural properties. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of a highly divergent cytoplasmic ribosome from the single-celled eukaryotic alga Euglena gracilis. The Euglena large ribosomal subunit is distinct in...
