Common histone modifications include methylation of lysine and arginine, acetylation of lysine, phosphorylation of threonine and serine, and sumoylation, biotinylation, and ubiquitylation of lysine. Specifically, methylation of arginine 8 on histone H3 (H3 R8me2s) is associated with transcriptional repression.
