Say, in the context of finding microbial life on Mars (i.e., organisms that evolved from the start with six nucleotides, not just taking current terrestrial organisms and swapping out the nucleic acids and ribosomes).

Although the information could be the same, genetics happen in a “chemistry media” instead of a digital one, and most of the functionality of proteins is related to its physical structure, so I’m not sure if DNA could generate similar proteins with a different DNA encoding scheme.
