Gravitons don't. That's the big problem of Physics.

Warped space comes from General Relativity, gravitons come from Quantum Mechanics, the two don't play nice together.

Gravitons do work in String Theory, that's why people are excited about String Theory; because it looks like it can unify QM and GR. As I understand it however, String Theory is by no means 'finished', and there is no experimental support for the Theory as yet.
