Stop codon readthrough (SCR), the decoding of a stop codon as a sense codon by the ribosome, has important biological implications but remains largely uncharacterized in plants. Here, we identified 1,009 SCR events in two monocots (maize, rice) and two dicots (soybean, Arabidopsis) using a proteogenomic strategy with 80 customized databases. SCR transcripts were mostly significantly shorter and had fewer components than non-SCR transcripts in two monocot plants, although these differences were not as significant in the dicots. Mass spectrometry evidence revealed that all three stop codons involved in SCR events could be recoded as 20 standard amino acids, some of which were also supported by suppressor transfer RNA analysis. In addition, we observed multiple functional signals in the C-terminal extensions of 34 maize SCR proteins, and characterized the structural and subcellular localization changes in the extended protein of BASIC TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 3. Overall, our study not only demonstrates that SCR events are widespread in plants but also reveals the unprecedented recoding plasticity of stop codons, which provides important new insights into the flexibility of genetic decoding.
