Highlights
?Quantitative phosphoproteome of BRAF drug-resistance in melanoma cells.
?Cytoskeletal proteins are downregulated in resistant vs. sensitive cells.
?Nestin is associated with an invasive phenotype and resistance to MEK and BRAF inhibitors.
?Nestin depletion affects PI3K/AKT and integrin signaling similar to resistant cells.
