GAI and RGA proteins normally act as repressors of gibberellin responses. Gibberellin acts indirectly through an unidentified signaling intermediate, which is thought to bind to the regulatory domains of the GAI and RGA Proteins.

In the absence of gibberellin, 

the DELLA proteins positively regulate GID1, GA20ox, and GA3ox, and negatively regulate GA2ox.
