Concerning your edits to the above article which I have reverted, the recommended short names for this protein family are RAG-1, RAG-2, etc. (see for example P15918). Since most of the subject matter in the article deals with the proteins and not genes, it is appropriate to include a dash in the short name as was originally written in the article. This naming convention follows a long established tradition in the field of Molecular Biology:
When naming proteins which can be grouped into a family based on homology or according to a notion of shared function (like the interleukins), the different members should be enumerated with a dash "-" followed by an Arabic number, e.g. "desmoglein-1", "desmoglein-2", etc.
